David Brooks: 'I’m an Obama Sap'

Let us give credit for honesty (at least temporarily) to the New York Times "conservative" columnist, David Brooks, for his brutal self-recognition of a political flaw. Brooks flat out admits that he is a sap:

I’m a sap, a specific kind of sap. I’m an Obama Sap.

Brooks lays out in some detail his discovery of what most of the rest of us already knew; his extreme gullibility when it comes to believing Obama:

When the president said the unemployed couldn’t wait 14 more months for help and we had to do something right away, I believed him. When administration officials called around saying that the possibility of a double-dip recession was horrifyingly real and that it would be irresponsible not to come up with a package that could pass right away, I believed them.

Read the entire article. David Brooks might end up auctioning off his "Sap Chart" on eBay.

Some things never change .......

“I remember distinctly an image of--we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,” Brooks says, “and I’m thinking, a) he’s going to be president and b) he’ll be a very good president.”

Along with Matthews’ “thrill up his leg” comment (which is also alluded to in the article), this is a very bizzare thing to say out loud.

NAH...you’re an elitist POS, just like Obomba...

[RitaOK]

David Brooks falls off the wagon NOW? Only when it has becomes chic among beltway cronies to do so. Heck, it takes wholesale abandonment of Obama by his socialist/marxist base before David Brooks deigns to get the picture? Really.

“I’m a sap, a specific kind of sap. I’m an Obama Sap.”

Yup. David, you could have saved a lot of time and ink by just stopping there.

Predication: You will remain an Obama sap.

[ken21]

yep.

[rogue yam]

Gay man-crush.

No more, no less.

[combat_boots]

Brooks, you fool. No, more than a fool. You are a Rasputin, for you wallow in your perverted beliefs.

Bend yourself over and hold on. Prepare yourself to pull a steady DADT moments, courtesy of the gAngsministration train.

[Tax-chick]

Agree.

[lormand]

Obama to ‘guilty white guys’ is like crack to a crack whore.

[jerseyrocks]

Sounds like a dam# fool to me. The Pong knows how to play to his subjects.

[Sudetenland]

Hey David, you're not a "sap," you're an elitist idiot. You celebrated the fact that Obama could pronounce "nuclear" and that he did suffer from Bush's tendency to use malapropisms in the mistaken belief that he was A. smarter than Bush because of that and B. would be more competent and capable because of that, while you ignored Obama's complete lack of experience and accomplishment.

I fear your superficiality will always relegate you to the status of "sap."

The bartender asks,

"What can I get you Mr. President ? "

(Not really fresh 'n' original. I need more turnip greens. Bye for now!)

[Panzerlied]

What a maroon!

Look up “fool” in the dictionary and you’ll see a picture of David Brooks.

What’s worse, he’s a self serving, disingenuous fool.

[Servant of the Cross]

... this is a very bizarre thing to say out loud.

That's the fact, Jack.
[At least I think it is, unless, perhaps, it was said by someone who is totally gay.]

[xsmommy]

I was just going to say that very thing, how do these two walk around and look people in the eye, when they are on record as having made two of the most asinine statements in recent history? how do they leave the house?

I knew this guy was no conservative after first seeing his Bobos and Paradise yuppie obsession.

“Hang yourself brave Crillon, er, I mean David Brooks. We fought at Arques and you were not there. You were playing dress-up with your Obama dollie.”
