This pundit Brooks (who is supposed to be the New York Times’ house conservative) is the same guy who claimed Obama was the smartest presidential candidate ever, based on nothing but press releases and the crease in Obama’s pants.

This is what irks me too. I'm sick of messiah politics. We were supposed to believe that Obama was so smart and that he was going to be some kind of savior.

Now we're supposed to belief the same about someone else, this time on the right?

No, sorry. Cruz may be the smartest guy on the planet that's not a selling point that works any more. I want to hear what the candidate has done, don't keep telling me how smart someone is. Smart is relative ... I know a lot of very smart people who haven't done much.
