Debate, Declaim, Debacle [Funny David Brooks Piece]
NY Times ^ | 10/16/2004 | David Brooks

SCHIEFFER And our first question goes to Senator Kerry. Sir, your spending plans will cost over a trillion dollars. Your combined tax plans will cost $500 billion. How are you going to balance the budget?

KERRY Bob, I'm glad you asked me that question, but before I dodge it I'd like to thank you for moderating this debate, I'd like to thank Arizona State University for being such wonderful hosts and I'd like to thank Dick Cheney's daughter for being a lesbian - in case anybody didn't know.

Bob, as you know, this nation is on the brink of an apocalyptic catastrophe. Civilization as we know it is hanging on by a thread. Our culture has collapsed, our economy is in tatters, the human spirit is extinguished, children never laugh, God is dead, and families like Dick Cheney's are ashamed of their daughters, one of whom is a lesbian. All of this is because of George Bush.

It was worth it. ;^)

Liberal papers and liberal talk shows all have the same thing in common: They hire some lame Republicans like David Brooks ("Mark Shields is right about how Bush loused up the Iraq war, Jim") as cover for their bias.

And they put "Republicans" like Chuck Hegel on the Sunday shows.

By the way, when this is over, let's get together to get rid of Chuck Hegel.
