So when is Brooks endorsing the crease in Obama’s trousers again?
He sounds like Maureen Dowd, but she does snark better.
Head slap. Yep, this is who the NYT holds up a the “conservative” viewpoint.
Sickening.
Sounds like Brooksie hasn’t given up on 0bama yet.
That seems to be the problem with people.. they fall head over heels in love with Obama, then find ... no matter what... they just can’t quit him.
It’s that emotional bond thing, I guess.
Oh I guess Brooks thinks this is funny, ha ha ha.
What a moron.
He’s turned to zero long time ago.
Mitt needs to add a crease to his pants so Brooks will like him.
Obviously, a tongue in cheek attempt at satire, it misses the mark.
I crack up when I see people like Brooks and Scarborough try and introduce themselves as conservatives.
David is fishing for a job at MSNBC.
David Brooks is a stain in the shorts of a true conservative.
I really dislike Romney, but this piece is awful.
any wonder this paper is almost Bankrupt
This trash is supposed to be what NYT readers think is intellectual humor?
It is such a parody, that I was half-expecting Brooks at the end to break through into some reality but he didn’t. His essay is just fantastic nastiness imagining itself to be clever.
Is it really funny to disparage someone because of what he wears, or because he happens to have nice hair? Or make fun of a person merely because he is rather normative in his behavior?
I found the comments following the column also very illuminating: most of the readers thought the column was great! We are in different worlds, because I can’t see that there is anything admirable or illuminating about this drivel, and yet Times readers seem to relish it, and it resonates with their “thinking.” And, I guess, that does (after all) tell me something!
There are a lot of people out there who look human to me, but are so different from me that they might be members of a different species.
That is the most childish thing I’ve ever read. The twerp should be embarrassed.
“Hes turned to zero long time ago.”
He’s always been a zero.
I went and read Dowd’s screed the other day. The comments are completely from a different world, and they cut it off on her column without approval and it appears they only allow liberal comments to make it through. I read through them all and maybe there were a few light approaches at different views but they were so mild it was hard to tell.
Different worlds no doubt, and sometimes I feel the same; that there is a whole different species amongst us. And the new Prez there says there is no bias. Pfft.
He plays a republican at the NYT like Jeff Daniels plays a republican on Newsroom.
What’s the point?
I think Brooks has a little man crush going on.
