Brooks speaks with the unintentienal insularity of the MSM elite, and doesn't seem to understand that some old fashioned common sense will win every time.

RE: “David Brooks being his eastern elite catty metrosexual self.”

You sure that’s just “metro” and not “homo?” He sure seems like the latter to me .... not that there’s anything wrong with that (ha)

If Obama is so smart, how did he come to the conclusion that going into Iraq was a bad thing?  Did he have daily briefings from the CIA?  Did he have daily briefings from the NSA?  Did he have the intelligence agencies and leaders of all countries in the Security Council of the United Nations agreeing with Bush that Iraq was a potential danger? 

I doubt it. In 2002 he was a bumbling local politician in Illinois.  He probably didn't even have accurate readings on the local Chinese restaurant's take out menu.

You simply cannot take the known information in October 2002 and come to any conclusion other than the one that President Bush, VP Cheney, President Clinton, Senator Clinton, Senator Rockefeller, and a list of 75 other senators and 300+ congressmen came to.  You cannot find a Karnaugh map or a series of logic gates anywhere on the planet that would have come up with a different scenario.

So how did Obama miss it by so much?  His critical thinking ability is simply flawed and right now American are dumb enough to put him in office.

David Brooks spoke frankly about the presidential and vice presidential candidates Monday afternoon, calling Sarah Palin a "fatal cancer to the Republican party" but describing John McCain and Barack Obama as "the two best candidates we've had in a long time."

No wonder he's the captive pet "conservative" of the MSM.

That’s really rich: David Brooks talking about Sarah Palin’s ‘prejudices’ (after he’s concluded she is a yahoo with no interest in ideas).

Sarah Palin has accomplished more in her life and had more of impact on the lives of others than David Brooks could ever dream of. Let him engage in his mastrabatory prose sitting in the clouds above the masses. Who gives a crap about him or his ilk? They are the ones who are a cancer on the GOP.

In his dreams. Sarah Palin may just be the one (with all of us) dragging McCain over the victory line

"Brooks is definitely hallucinating."


Sarah is a MAJOR threat to his "Governing Conservatism" rejection of the traditional Reagan style limited government conservatism. If she becomes the new face of the party it surely will not be going down the path he has been advocating and he will become even more irrelevant than he is now.

Gay wannabees like Brooks hate strong women.

David Brooks has spewed this crap before. Brooks on Face the Nation last Sunday:

I agree. If we want to read that garbage all we have to do go to any msm website

Brooks is making the mistake that anybody actually gives a rat’s arse what he thinks.

[Friendofgeorge]

Brooks, Scarborough,Carlson(tucker), George Will,Noonan etc, are all Pieces of crap...Sorry somebody had to say it.

[television is just wrong]

LOL, that just cracks me up. She has a spine and they don’t like it.

See post #38

Minus_The_Bear says: “Romney and his supporters are scum.”

What do you say?

What shade of lipstick is that?

[Poincare]

David Brooks is a little hairy wart, easily excised.

"Out of the blue I say, 'Ever read a guy named Reinhold Niebuhr?"

Is that a common pick up line in fag bars?
