"Brooks said "I just can't take her seriously"

That's because mr brooks, you take yourself way too seriously, and you can't see Sarah Palin's accomplishments from the 10 mile high pedestal you've perched your foolish self on.

But thats ok..... because we don't need your opinion. We think for ourselves nowadays thank you very much.

And then he dropped the crack pipe and all the dudes in the alley jumped his ass.

Brooksie continues to prance around in his tighty whiteys for the amusemant of his NY Slimes masters. Do not pity him, his chains rest lightly upon him and he is well fed for his services.

If you ever need to see an idiot say something, just put David Brooks on a Sunday morning talking head show.

I don’t care much for Palin as a presidential candidate(I think she’s the only GOP candidate Hussein could beat), but the remarks by Brooks are off base.

and the reason I should care what David brooks thinks.......

...David Brooks the same “reporter” who wrote a column
about the 9/12 march — not as a result of showing up as a journalist
(e.g as Byron York, Washington Examiner did, who did a great story)
but because he “usually jogs near the mall” and encountered
some Tea Partiers that day.

Wake me up David when you get a clue.

This is merely a transparent use by David Brooks of Alinski tactic #5 “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” This is basically the only effective tactic the media has against Sarah Palin. Unfortunately for David Brooks, Sarah Barracuda has caught on to this one. We are seeing another universal principle begin to take over, the No publicity is bad publicity principle. Even a minor bit player in the Palin media hatchet job, Levi Johnson can draw more media attention than Al Gore or John Kerry.

The ridicule of Sarah Palin has been baseless fluff. As that becomes more and more apperant, familiarity is going to become a huge factor in the next presidential election especially with democrat credibility going down the toilet. People are going to want to vote for someone that they can trust to get them out of the huge mess that Obama is leading us into. No one looks and acts more trustworthy and believable than Sarah Palin. When she starts stepping in front of the huge tea party crowds, magic is going to happen.

I see Mr. Brooks is employing Alinsky's rules numbers

The nasty nature and derision on these people’s part is a benefit to Palin. They really are unhinged and their problem is Palin is going to speak and be heard, without their filter and they are not the final say. All pretty damning to the PDS crowd.

The joke’s going to be on him when she takes the POTUS oath of office in January 2013.

Who the heck does he think he is?

I'll wager there are a good deal more Republicans who will vote for Sarah Palin in any primary than there are Republicans who read David Brooks stuff or even know who he is.

Yo, David, tone it down a little.

We know there's an opening at CNN and all that but, c'mon man, you can't look that eager.
