At a luncheon today unveiling The Atlantic’s redesign, Shenan perenniel fave and Atlantic national correspondent Jeffrey Goldberg sat down with the New York Times’ David Brooks to discuss “How Success Happens,” the neurology and sociology behind successful people, and the "P" word: politics.

So what does David Brooks think about McCain’s brand of politics? “I call it pre-Christian and not because he’s older than Jesus,” said Brooks.

As for Joe Biden? “I love Joe Biden,” added Brooks. “Joe Biden drives himself sane by talking.”
