If we are going to police the GOP, we need to first get rid of candy-ass, butt-kissing choads like Mr. Brooks.

Apparenlty facts are not enough for Mr. Brookks.

>>I probably wouldn’t have gone that far

I would have. And good on Rudy for going as far as he did. If there was anything untrue in what he said, I missed it.

Facts hurt, don’t they, dems? You guys have been suppressing the facts you don’t like for so long that when someone actually mentions them, you recoil.

No, 0vomit was not raised like you and me. He bragged about that as one of his selling points during the campaign and now that it’s biting him in the butt we aren’t supposed to mention it.

“...unacceptable. You can’t say that. He doesn’t know that. It’s not true.”

Notice the internal contradiction.

He (Rudy) doesn’t know that.

But Brooks somehow does know what is true.

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad Rudy did what he did. It's obviously true even to lifelong Dems.

But there is no need for the GOP to adopt his view as a matter of policy. Let the Dems stew in the Giuliani Juice and beg the Republicans to call him on it. They didn't today and they won't tomorrow. They just need to keep telling the world what a great guy he is.

But, LOL, maybe he went a bit too far. Maybe an inch or so. Wink, wink.

Good thing I’m conservative, and not a Republican.

[DAVID BROOKS: Well, it’s — you know, it’s unacceptable. You can’t say that. He doesn’t know that. It’s not true. It’s self-destructive.

There’s sort of, I don’t know, who to blame, I don’t know, somebody like that.]

This is supposed to be intelligent conversation from people with impressive college degrees? Is it possible to get a refund for all the tuition they have payed in or has the warranty/statute of limitations expired ?

“He doesn’t know that. It’s not true.”

If Rudy doesn’t know that Obama doesn’t love America, how can this moron claim to know he does?

Standard Pub response should be “He said he wants to fundamentally change America. You don’t try to fundamentally change something you love.”

Or just, “I don’t know, why don’t you ask him?”

Brooks is right of course; its up to us Republicans to police the party ...

OK, all you nitwits that don’t agree with Rudy: out of the party and now!

There. Feel better Brooks?

What about Mot Sahl? I would have thought he was out of commission.
