Here’s what is so galling:
One may agree or disagree with whether Palin’s approach is “anti-intellectual.” (I disagree and believe she is challenging eggheaded Ivory-Tower naive liberals, as did Ike vs. Adlai Stevenson.)
But let’s keep some perspective and just write, “I don’t like her approach and think it’s wrong.”
Instead, Brooks goes off the proverbial deep end. Not only is Palin’s approach a “cancer,” but it’s also a “fatal” one.
Mr. Brooks, get it together.
Sarah Palin has accomplished more in her life and had more of impact on the lives of others than David Brooks could ever dream of. Let him engage in his mastrabatory prose sitting in the clouds above the masses. Who gives a crap about him or his ilk? They are the ones who are a cancer on the GOP.
Palin is saying things that are on everybody's lips and I am glad she is.
Some of the biggest idiots I’ve known were “intellectulas.”
In fact, Sarah is the death knell for the RINOs in the GOP. Particularly as she is now the heir-apparent.
Cheers!
