"It is like you’re camping, and you wake up one morning, and there is a mountain. And then the next morning, there is a mountain, and there’s the next morning, there’s a mountain. Obama is just the mountain. He is just there. He is always the same, he doesn't hurt himself. McCain can sometimes lob a cannonball at the mountain, but the mountain doesn't move, and the mountain doesn't care. And so I think his steadiness, his temperament has been the dramatic theme of this campaign, dramatic in being undramatic. And it was on display tonight. And the good part of the mountain is that he is reassuring and reliable."
Yeah, mountains can be cool, except when they fall on you, which is what just happened to Brooks!
That quote from Brooks is symbolic of what passes for political analysis these days. Absolutely pathetic.
And evidence of a new variation of the man crush: “the mountain-man crush”.
“It is like you’re camping, and you wake up one morning, and there is a mountain. And then the next morning, there is a mountain, and there’s the next morning, there’s a mountain.”
Is that real?
It seems vaguely autistic.
(with all due deference to the disease)
Those of us who consider ourselves moderates — moderate-conservative, in my case — are forced to confront the reality that Barack Obama is not who we thought he was.
The false religion of Moderate, when seen in a political sense, is nonsense. This, “Barack Obama is not who we thought he was”, should be the death sentence for this: “moderate conservative”.
