Oh he does make me laugh, loudly and deeply, he should be laughed to scorn early and often.
David Brooks has earned our scorn.
Don’t forget Kathleen Parker, Fred Barnes, and Bill Kristol.
David Brooks can kiss my a$$.
Why, I can smile, and murder whiles I smile,
And cry ‘Content’ to that which grieves my heart,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,
And frame my face to all occasions.
I can add colors to the chameleon,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavelli to school.
Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?
Tut, were it farther off, I'll pluck it down.
Gloucester:Henry VI scene II.
I use up all my gallows humor laughing at kids who set the carpet on fire and let the snake loose.
So, how is the Princess doing these days?
Not gallows humor at all TC, it is outright contempt for the man and his scribbles, last week he was praising Gov Palin for the VP Debate, this week she is a cancer?
That draws my ire and scorn for such a pseudo intellectual piece of DC Elite Garbage.
Oh, I feel ire, scorn, and contempt, too. I just express them by frowning and sighing deeply, instead of laughing. The fact that we’re out of wine may have something to do with it.
Brooks has never been conservative, as far as I can tell. He’s sometimes made correct and insightful observations about society, but they always lead him to liberal conclusions.
She’s lookin’ pretty hot, which on Neptune, is very hard to do.
David Brooks = David Brock.
Same hot tub.
I must agree.
“Speaking of school, did anyone else see Mitt take Lou Dobbs to school yesterday?”
I did not see that...what happened?
“...and now have the candidates they deserve.”
We’re in trouble.
yep
lol
Brooks meant to say Sarah is a cancer on the Obama campaign. rme
All these conservatives in the MSM, have got to get a grip. There is nothing about Sarah Palin that gives me the impression she is anti-learning or anti-ideas. Quite the opposite.
David Brooks might be a Republican...but he is no conservative and never has been.
Heck...I am a big Romney man, but Palin is the real deal, I am a bigger Palin fan. I really never thought of myself as scum before. Is that pond scum?
Now, now. You left out lying and liberal.
He gets too many things wrong to be actually taken seriously. For example, he says "The more I follow politicians, the more I think experience matters, the ability to have a template of things in your mind that you can refer to on the spot, because believe me, once in office there's no time to think or make decisions."
But he says Obama is a great candidate, when Obama has no experience, has no template in his mind, and fails whenever a quick decision has to be made. On the other hand, Palin has 45 years of real-world experience, only partly tainted by public office. She knows what it's like to be an average american, because unlike Barack Obama, she grew up as an average american, not being groomed by america-haters and terrorists.
THen he says: The New York Times columnist also said that the "great virtue" of Palin's counterpart, Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, is that he is anything but a "yes man."
But in fact Biden is the perfect example of how experience is meaningless if it is obtained by an idiot. Biden says what he thinks, but since most of what he says is made up, and the rest is unintelligible, he would be of NO USE WHATEVER to Obama. Obama will be clueless, and turn to Biden, who will make up an answer based on a world of alternative reality that Biden lives in.
Meanwhile, Brooks says Bush doesn't have "that kind of person" around him, when Cheney is NOBODY'S YES MAN.
In the end, I can only conclude that Brooks is scared of strong women, and can't handle the idea of any "girl" knowing more than him.
