I am not a girl, which by default means I'm a man!

In which case I hold you in the highest esteem instead.

I don't know what to think of Brock to be serious

I think Brook is the perfect House Conservative. He is perfectly willing to be the token in his environment. And YES, being a "House Conservative" is the same thing as being a "House N...". He is more then willing to lick the hand that swats him with only the mildest of defenses of Conservatives so his masters can pat themselves on the back about how "opened minded" they are since they have "A Conservative on staff". He is a political enabler of the worst sort. Even worst he is such an inept one in addition.

I have much greater respect for Christopher Hitchens, a moderately reformed Trostskite, who I disagree with mightily but has the intellectual stature to actually defend the truth even when it means spitting in the eye of his fellow travelers.

That would make a wonderful, if long, tag line.

So Brock is a dog that's house trained, that puts a different perspective on things, it reminds me somewhat of the junior partner in Ireland's coalition government - house trained conservatives, they talk the talk, but don't walk the walk!!

Hitchens verbally pistol whipped Bill Maher a couple of weeks ago : )
