If it’s not Frum and Bruce Bartlett demanding greater outreach from Republicans while sneering at them at every turn, it’s Brooks breaking his arms patting himself on the back for being an intellectual … who happens to find political portent in how well Barack Obama irons his pants.
That first encounter is still vivid in Brooks’s mind. “I remember distinctly an image of–we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,” Brooks says, “and I’m thinking, a) he’s going to be president and b) he’ll be a very good president.” In the fall of 2006, two days after Obama’s The Audacity of Hope hit bookstores, Brooks published a glowing Times column. The headline was “Run, Barack, Run.”… “Obama sees himself as a Burkean,” Brooks says. “He sees his view of the world as a view that understands complexity and the organic nature of change.” Moreover, after the Bush years, Brooks seems relieved to have an intellectual in the White House again. “I divide people into people who talk like us and who don’t talk like us,” he explains. “Of recent presidents, Clinton could sort of talk like us, but Obama is definitely–you could see him as a New Republic writer. He can do the jurisprudence, he can do the political philosophy, and he can do the politics. I think he’s more talented than anyone in my lifetime. I mean, he is pretty dazzling when he walks into a room. So, that’s why it’s important he doesn’t fuck this up.”

Brooks sounds to me like a suck up hangar on with no backbone of his own. I bet he was a nerd in school.
Why doesn’t Brooks just come out of the closet already?....
“Perfectly creased pants” That was a mash letter from Brooks to Obama
David Brooks says about Obama...”I think he’s more talented than anyone in my lifetime. I mean, he is pretty dazzling when he walks into a room.”
David Brooks is the dumbest man alive. Oh, and he’s a flaming homosexual too.
David, do yourself a favor and head to you local gay bar ASAP.
“... does he get a tingle up his leg when he sees the crease in Othuggo’s pants?”
Maybe... More likely up his bum. Maybe he salivates too. Poor sucker.
“David, do yourself a favor and head to you local gay bar ASAP.”
It is obvious that David Brooks seeks impregnation from the “Big 0” but must console himself with the lesser ilk available at the local gay bar. Obviously, he “is not worthy”.
Brooks reminds me here of one of those British tabloid writers who fawns over the royal family. Fawning over a politician is even more unbecoming of an American, though.
But it’s easy to understand. Brooks is first and foremost, a statist. If you believe in a strong central government, as Brooks does, and you believe that the central government should run most aspects of the lives of it’s citizens since the masses are just too stupid to run their own lives, as Brooks does, then it stands to reason you’re going to like a guy like BO who is confident that he’s just the guy to do it.
Brooks is the reason I take the words of any scribbler, whatever their political orientation, with a grain of salt. We have a number of “conservative” scribblers (Brooks, Parker, Noonan, etal) who succumbed to the Obama “charisma”. Anyone who fell for Obama’s line of bull definitely has issues.
Yeah, Obama is a regular "Scott Thomas Beauchamp."
"I remember distinctly an image of-we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant," Brooks says, "and I'm thinking, a) he's going to be president and b) he'll be a very good president." In the fall of 2006, two days after Obama's The Audacity of Hope hit bookstores, Brooks published a glowing Times column. The headline was "Run, Barack, Run."... "Of recent presidents, Clinton could sort of talk like us, but Obama is definitely-you could see him as a New Republic writer. He can do the jurisprudence, he can do the political philosophy, and he can do the politics. I think he's more talented than anyone in my lifetime. I mean, he is pretty dazzling when he walks into a room. So, that's why it's important he doesn't [bleep] this up."
Brooks called Sarah Palin a joke today.
From a guy who admires Hussein’s pants.
Thanks roses of sharon.
