Brooks is the bloody poodle of the NY TIMES. They wouldn’t hire anyone who was a real conservative.

“David Brooks pretty sold on Romney”

This is about the least surprising development of this young election season.

He likes the crease in Romney’s pants.

The ESTABLISHMENT has spoken.

Romney had the sharpest crease in his pant-legs. That's all David Brooks cares about or notices.

People! Please don’t question the loyalty of David Brooks!

He’ll still support Obama in the general election.

The establishment Republicans are outnumbered in the GOP but they have so far seceded in dividing the TP conservatives. We need to rally behind one of the remaining conservatives in the races before romney’s momentum cannot be stopped.

"He’ll still support Obama in the general election."

He's supporting 0bama in the general election by supporting Romney for the nomination.

Gov. Christie's reception at the Reagan library demonstrate what mainstream GOPers think of Romney. They want better, as do I.

Perry is flaming out, and rest of the field are Tea Party amateurs. As it stands today, we're going to get stuck with Romney, because the Tea Party candidates will not prevail.

Romney’s “momentum” will be stopped by Sarah Palin at the appropriate time and place.

Brooks is probably at Romney’s house ironing his pants for him every morning.

A Palin would say about Romney: “Bless his heart” LOL!

Mitt Romney could beat Obama. If Mitt Romney is the nominee I’ll vote for him. But a Mitt Romney presidency would set the conservative side of the GOP back farther than either Bush I or II.

Spot on Hunton.

I AGREE WITH THAT

Marxism is all about lies told to a mass of ignorant thugs.

William Safire was a fairly good token conservative at the NY Times. He had to watch what he said (never speak out against abortion, for instance), but he wrote very well and sometimes came out with a good column.

In contrast, David Brooks is eminently ignorable. He is a clueless jerk, a sock puppet for Pinch Sulzberger. A mediocre stylist, and never even good for a laugh.

Remember his “I Am A Sap” column a week or so ago? I was the first commenter to that column and said that yes, you are a sap, if you hadn’t been so busy drooling over Obama maybe you would have done your job and we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in. Well, surprise surprise. That comment disappeared. What was left up there were all these oh so intellectual pro and con analyses of Obama ...and so on and so forth.

Poor wittle David Brooks...perpetually in search of balls.

You know, if I were David Brooks, I’d get together some buds and do a long sail, a la William F. Buckley, do a walk across Europe, do anything, just get as far away as I could from writing anything political for a long, long while.
