What's with David Brooks and pants legs? He is either staring at them or getting rubbed on them.

Hmmmmm. Makes me wonder if David Brooks and Chris Mathews are a "thing"...

Some of the comments at the link are great. Especially the one about “Kalifornia”. I sent that around by email. It was great!

I got a kick out of Post #14 above about how David’s love letters to Barack from atop Brookback Mountain sounds a lot like it was out of the Song of Solomon. So true! And so FUnnie!!!

I've added a link to a MIDI instrumental of the tune, to go along with the vocals of the original by Astaire & Rogers. Also, in the lyrics previously posted, I left out a "that" in the third stanza, fourth line. So here is the song with the added music link and with a typo corrected:

A FINE BROMANCE
Tune: "A Fine Romance" Original
As sung by David Brooks to Barack Obama

A fine bromance, like no other
A fine bromance, my Brooks brother
Barack and Brooks--it's mutual admiration
Your rock-star looks are causin' a strange sensation
A fine bromance, though you're frazzled
A fine bromance, I'm bedazzled
I like to stare at the crease in your well-pressed pants
I've widened up my stance
This is a fine bromance

A fine bromance, we're pie-chartin'
You make bromance that's bi-partisan
You're cooler than the clams that are down in the seaweed
You cast a glance my way and I get all wee-weed
A fine bromance, you're my Marx guy
When we slow-dance, you make sparks fly
You make me have to cancel my "No we cant's"
You've got me in a trance
This is a fine bromance

A fine bromance, with no disses
A fine bromance, Barack, this is
The "right" may be the box that a guy like I'm in
But I'm the kind that writes for the New York Times in
A fine bromance, my dear comrade
A fine bromance, like you and Rahm had
I feel a tingle running now up my pants
I've widened up my stance
This is a fine bromance

Any time I hear a reference to that song I think of Sinatra. But that’s just me...

“A Fine Romance” was written for the movie ‘Swing Time” in 1936 and was sung by Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Many artists have recorded it since. Sinatra recorded the song in 1960.

Sinatra recorded the song in 1960.

Without looking it up, I believe that was on his first album under his own label, Reprise. The album name was Ring A Ding Ding. Another great cut from that album was In The Still Of The Night.

Boy is he a sell out. I thought he was supposed to be the NYT token conservative columnist. He is nothing but a lap dog for the lefties at the Times. The SF Chronicle has Debra Saunders as their token conservative and she is pretty good, at times.
