David Brooks' biting wit shows what a hypocrite Kerry is when he rails about "special interests" at the same time he's getting in bed with them.

Bill Keller is one smart liberal.

As I wrote in my blog (clic the pic to read), Keller took a chance and put a conservative on the Op-Ed page. Raines wouldn't have had the intellectual integrity to do this. Keller does, though he is as doctrinaire a liberal as was Raines. David Brooks has become the columnist to read in the NYT, instantly placing in his shadow the obsessed Krugman, the pompous Friedman, and the flighty Dowd.

Only Safire can hold a candle to Brooks' prose.

The Dems are very concerned about this. This is the NYT OpEd page saying that its okay to start looking at Kerry's swag from China and other places.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

I know that it has been cold back East.

Did Hell, (The Ny Slimes) freeze over last night. Brooks hammered John F' Kerry like we do.

See section9 's post at #6! Also that Larry Elder piece that Fairopinion posted, covers much more than just John Kerry:

Larry Elder: Were we misled? (about Iraq's WMD)

And that cute little girl grew up to become a lieutenant colonel in China's People's Liberation Army, which is a very special army, even measured against the armies of other human rights-violating dictatorships.

LOL!

I heard that Kerry is supposed to plant a heckler at his speech this evening to address this issue.

1) I thought we are only supposed to post excerpts from the NYT, not whole articles.

Hell no!

Only the Washington Compost and LA SLimes and their owners and subsidiaries have the Legal action against FR!

Like Safire, David Brooks is not a conservative on some issues. Safire is pro-abortion, and I believe David Brooks is pro-abortion too. But like Safire, Brooks can write a great column once in a while. (Think of Safire's memorable comment some years ago that hillary is a "congenital liar." Safire may have only attacked the clintons once or twice a year, but when he did, it bit.)

This is just about the best Brooks op-ed I have seen. Beautiful. It will be some time before people forget this one.
