Every party in opposition goes a little crazy. For Republicans in the early Obama era, insanity took the form of the Sarah Palin spasm. Veteran politicos took the former Alaska governor seriously as a national figure. Republican primary voters nominated the likes of Todd Akin, Christine O'Donnell and Sharron Angle. Glenn Beck seemed important enough to hold a big rally at the Lincoln Memorial.
Fortunately, serious parties eventually pull back from the fever swamps. Thats whats happening to the Republican Party. It has re-established itself as the nations dominant governing party. Republicans now control 69 of 99 state legislative bodies. Republicans hold 31 governorships to Democrats 18.
When the next Congress convenes in January, Republicans will have their largest majority in the House of Representatives since 1931; they will have a majority in the Senate, dominate gubernatorial power in the Midwest, and have more legislative power nationwide than anytime over the past century.
Republicans didnt establish this dominant position because they are unrepresentative outsiders. They did it because they have deep roots in four of the dominant institutions of American society: the business community, the military, the church and civic organizations....

David Brooks, the original Pajama Boi!
What a maroon!
These articles are akin to Eve writing on schizophrenia in others...
Spasm? And he’s not talking about his jock-sniffing of Obama’s pants?
I certainly hope so. Sarah, we need you!
David Brooks, Leader of the Socialist Unity Party of East America.
AKA: The Uniparty! >:(
I decided some time back to just ignore ninnies like Our Miss Brooks.
One other name blows this drivel to bits: Ted Cruz.
The GOP-E is doing a lot of wishful thinking this week.
I heard SP say the other day that her skin has grown exceedingly thick against the naysayers.
Of course, I don’t know what the future holds for her, and if you did, you wouldn’t tell me out of loyalty to her. But I think that either way it goes...written off as dead but still alive, or constantly harangued in the press...she’ll be ready. Regardless the pundits’ opinions.
David Brooks, New York Times columnist
Oh no. Sarah is good for years of “spasms”, rages, rants, rashes, drooling and nervous ticks for the Left.
They can’t help it..she’s now part of their chromosomal makeup. Not only is she in their heads...she’s in their genes.
He - and idiots like him - desperately want to believe that.
And why did she endorse a Democrat in Alaska?
He is so clueless. She HELPED us win!
I hate spin doctors with their “narratives” and “optics”.
Brooks is fracking delusional, as usual.
"Uncle David" - like the Uncle Tom of Harriet Beecher Stowe's famous tome. Brooks is a step-n-fetchit for the Uniparty elite in Thievington, District of Corruption.
Uncle David's Column; or, Life Among the Elite: The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery by elitist dolts while also asserting that Sarah Palin's leadership can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.
