I listened in stunned fascination to an interview Michael Medved had with David Brock the other day. I'm not kidding, I caught my jaw dropping in amazement at some of Brock's comments and have been thinking of him for several days now. I've come to the conclusion that he has been and is being abused. By whom, I don't know. His sanity is in undoubtedly in question and I think he's on some kind of tranquilizer-type of medication. The man is severely demented and to see someone in his condition participating in interviews and TV shows, with the hosts treating him as if he were sane is bizaare. [To give Medved credit, he seemed to be just as amazed as I was at Brock's comments.]
Perhaps you've just put your finger on the reason for Brock's turnabout (no pun intended).....his reversal of field, as it were, and his walking away from Tyrrell and other conservatives who'd reposed their trust in him.
A Freeper posting to another thread cited a relationship with Hillary Clinton's press aide. Put that together with your insights here about Medved's interview of Brock, and a really hideous scandal would seem to be in the making, in which a Hillary staffer may have played "swallow" to bring Brock close enough to torque him into a pretzel, until the "right" words came out of his mouth, and his Hillary book was defanged.
This could turn into one of the more horrifically interesting human and political stories since the Stanford White affair -- or even since Dr. Svengali himself.
