Eddie Haskell Brooks
Jewish World Review ^ | Sept. 21, 2012 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 09/20/2012 9:37:20 PM PDT by ReformationFan

New York Times columnist David Brooks is the Eddie Haskell of the Fourth Estate. Like the two-faced sycophant in "Leave It to Beaver," Brooks indulges in excessive politeness while currying favor with political authority. He prides himself on an oily semblance of maturity and rational discourse.

But the phony "conservative" back-stabber, who has spent the last four years slavering over Barack Obama like a One Direction groupie and trashing the tea party like an MSNBC junkie, isn't fooling anyone.

Lately, Brooks has been given to dispensing passive-aggressive advice to GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. His column this week titled "Thurston Howell Romney" called Romney "a kind, decent man" — and then shredded him to pieces as a "country club" elitist who "doesn't know much about the culture of America," "knows nothing about ambition and motivation," and is "running a depressingly inept presidential campaign."

Eddie Haskell Brooks, along with fellow GOP bubble-dwellers Peggy Noonan and Bill Kristol, eagerly piled on Romney over his "secret video" remarks contrasting the nation's makers and takers. Liberal outlets embraced these chin-pulling tools — elevating them as "key" Republican voices who speak for the right.

Despite the best efforts of the Democratic-professional media complex to gin up faux-rage over Romney's remarks, however, several polls show that voters agree with Romney's fundamental critique of the indulgent Democratic politics of victimhood, identity and dependency. Yep, Brooks has the pulse of mainstream America — direct from his hallowed bubble at the Fishwrap of Record.

I never trusted David Brooks. When has he ever been truly conservative?

Bill Krystol is Eddie Haskell or they were seperated at birth.

David Brooks is the type of “Conservative” the New York Times loves: a timid, submissive, milquetoast, pusillanimous, demure, unassertive, RINO pussy.

Ken Osmond played Eddie Haskell. He is a good conservative.
he was even a cop on LAPD. “In 1970 Osmond joined the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and grew a mustache which helped to secure his anonymity. During his time on the force he worked in vice and narcotics, and as a motorcycle officer. On September 20, 1980, Osmond was hit by three bullets while in a foot chase with a suspected car thief.He was protected from two of the bullets by his bulletproof vest, with the third bullet ricocheting off of his belt buckle. Osmond was placed on disability and eventually retired from the force in 1988. The shooting was later dramatized in a November 1992 episode of the CBS series Top Cops.

I’m wondering if Brooks is going to become the new “David Brock”, the once conservative hustler turned Soros buttboy at Media Matters.

Let’s see if he is a turncoat or not?

Georgetown Day School, the posh leftish private school in D.C.

"Leftish"?

It's probably the most Libtard school in the country. They have "opposite gender day"there where one dresses up like a Sodomite. They have an "open campus" so if you want to let your teenager run free and experience NW DC it's the place for your kid.

NEOCON fight!!!!

There's nothing remotely conservative about Brooks. Or, for that matter, Malkin. They're just statists who really, really like war. They killed the GOP.

Peggy Noonan sounds a like Mrs. “Lovey” Howell.

David Brooks, David Frum, Billy Kristol, Peggy Noonan, Andrew Sullivan.

Who needs liberal enemies when you got these so-called conservative friends as your propaganda mouthpieces in the main stream media?

In one of Brooks' more lucid moments:

“I remember distinctly an image of--we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,” Brooks says, “and I’m thinking, a) he’s going to be president and b) he’ll be a very good president.”

One can only wonder what he thought when he saw the zipper.....

And there’s nothing remotely logical about your argument. To say that Malkin is not “remotely conservative” is to make a profoundly ignorant statement.

Wow. Malkin writes well and goes for the jugular. We need more like her and less like Noonan.

Patently false. Malkin is a true conservative street fighter.

I'm thinking more like the RNC.
