1. David Brooks's story about how one time he sat through some dinner and all the while endured the hand of a Republican Senator on his inner thigh.
2. Bruno, the Sacha Baron Cohen character, who is always crossing lines to see what kind of a reaction he can get out of various uptight/homophobic/politically correct Americans.
Bruno escalates the outrage until the prank target finally rejects him, and what's so funny — when it's funny — is how long it takes for some people make him stop, making Brooks an ideal target.

Ah! Suddenly, I get it. I see what Brooks was doing. The theory that Brooks doesn't know how to disengage from a grope or that he's too polite is absurd. But this needs a second post, with its own headline. Hang on a sec.

What would be really funny if Cohen tried to fondle David Brooks thigh...and Brooks tasered him.
Well, at least Brooks outed himself, in the political not the sexual sense: he can't even claim NY Times "house conservative" status anymore. Socially what a relief it must be to come in from the conservative (even if faux conservative) cold and rejoin the herd, the warm and comforting herd of independent minds.
Sounds like the old Adam Sandler - Alec Baldwin "Canteen Boy" sketch...

For SNL, Wells Fargo sues itself.
The Senator likely wanted to make David Brooks uncomfortable, and succeeded beyond his wildest expectations.
Brooks is now famous like the Watergate duo. He practices thigh rubbing investigations where the motto is follow the hand under the table until it meets deep throat. Of course if the hand belonged to a democrat, therewould be no story.
The more comical, and probably more accurate, comedy script would involve Brooks continually scooting his chair closer and closer to a senator and "accidentally" dropping items into his own lap and asking the senator to pick them up for him while Brooks swoons ecstatically.
