The Pop Culture Gap

A reader writes:

First Herman Cain doesn't know what SimCity is, and now the New York Times' book reviewer has no grasp of Angry Birds. When we talk about the growing gap between the haves and have-nots, we should also examine the gap between the people who pay attention to culture and the media and politicians who try to shape it. Here's Mitt Romney's half-assed attempt to seem human when talking about books, TV and movies. Here's Rick Perry asking folks to follow him on "Tweeter".

I am the 99 percent: I shop at Wal-Mart, eat at McDonald's, watch TV and surf the internet. Sheesh.
