Let us give the Barack Obama administration credit. They have run a "professional, smoothly running operation" in setting David Brooks' mind right. Back in early March, Brooks demonstrated a bit of independence from the liberal party line in his role as "house conservative" for the New York Times with this outburst:
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. His words are responsible; his character is inspiring. But his actions betray a transformational liberalism that should put every centrist on notice. As Clive Crook, an Obama admirer, wrote in The Financial Times, the Obama budget contains no trace of compromise. It makes no gesture, however small, however costless to its larger agenda, of a bipartisan approach to the great questions it addresses. It is a liberals dream of a new New Deal.
As a result, the Obama administration dispatched four handlers to work on Brooks to get him back into line. It worked beautifully as you can see in his next column:

These people are dangerously delusional.
PING!
Obviously this Brooks is no more a Conservative than Brooks, the Moonbat, who got an appointment in the Department of Defense the other day.
These people are the genetic misfits in the Brooks clan.
You’ve got to give David Brooks some credit: he knows how crab-walk backwards with the best of ‘em...
You lost a ‘to’ there, son...
This is an Onion piece, isn’t it?
Brooks is a pathetic suckup like the rest of that rotten corps of journo-sluts who will do anything to get Obama to bail out their dying gray rag.
“Obama running a Smoothly Functioning Operation” is such a departure from reality, so at odds with the facts that there can be no other explanation.
The Boston Globe, the sick child of the NY Times, is currently on life support and Kerry is trying to rescue that worthless wad of lies.
Credibility gone right there. Read no further...
A smoothly functional organization is only as great as its purpose. Bernard Madoff ran one, after all.
I guess Bobby thinks it is "professional" to only pay your taxes if you are going to be up for confirmation for a post in the cabinet.
I guess Bobby thinks it is "professional" and "smoothly running" when Obama flips and flops on his position around prosecuting the architects of the "torture" policy (or whatever he happens to be saying today).
I guess Bobby thinks it "smoothly running" to sky rocket our national debt.
MEGoody thinks Bobby is a boob.
This is scrapple face no?
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
“House conservative??” It reminds me of the old Soviet Union, which kept an “independent” press critic who spoke good English, “Joe”, that it marched out to shows like ABC’s Nightline to show that yes, dissent and disagreement were fully tolerated in the old USSR. I remember Ted Koppel pressing this guy to state any Kremlin position that he disagreed with; sweating, “Joe” mumbled something about the Soviet government could have been a bit more publicly condemnatory of the Iranian hostage taking. He was more critical of his own government with this bon mot than the “house conservative” David Brooks has been.
The left labels liberal republican wonks like Brooks as conservatives. It makes it much easier for real conservatives to be labeled right wing extremists by the left and be believed.
Being the most conservative writer at the NYT is like being the best ice skater in all of Somalia.
And I find a so called leader who names a HORRIBLE Head of Homeland Security who then CALLS her fellow citizens, many who have fought for HER, possible extremists, VERY VERY SLOPPY. Not a at all INDICATIVE of a smooth operation...irather CHAOS comes to mind. Imo, this woman is totally inept-worse-she does not appear to take our security seriously. That, or she is STUPID for real.
And when a so called LEADER releases to his nation the very methods used to extrapolate critical information regarding possible terrorist attacks against us (real terrorists, that is, you know, like the Saudi MUSLIM RADICAL cowards who flew into our twin towers) ... THAT IS NOT A SMOOTH OPERATION that is FAILURE!
