David Brooks: Sarah Palin "Represents A Fatal Cancer To The Republican Party"

David Brooks spoke frankly about the presidential and vice presidential candidates Monday afternoon, calling Sarah Palin a "fatal cancer to the Republican party" but describing John McCain and Barack Obama as "the two best candidates we've had in a long time."

In an interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg at New York's Le Cirque restaurant to unveil that magazine's redesign, Brooks decried Palin's anti-intellectualism and compared her to President Bush in that regard:

Brooks praised Palin's natural political talent, but said she is "absolutely not" ready to be president or vice president. He explained, "The more I follow politicians, the more I think experience matters, the ability to have a template of things in your mind that you can refer to on the spot, because believe me, once in office there's no time to think or make decisions."

The New York Times columnist also said that the "great virtue" of Palin's counterpart, Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, is that he is anything but a "yes man."

4. Huckabee was WAY to far to the right

but he was better than McLame. Brains, sense of humor, quick on his feet in a debate. And how the heck we wound up with McLame on the ticket next to Barack, I'll never know.

Can you imagine an Obama-Huckabee debate? WOW, that would have been one for the ages!

5. But we should be glad that Huckabee wasn't chosen,

He is charming enough that the total landslide we will be having, might not be possible.

6. Huckee too much of a Fundie...never woulda worked...

Mitt woulda been a better fight...they saving him for 2012

3. I think she's the perfect embodiment of the Republican Party.

Superficially appealing to some, but no depth or understanding of anything beyond simple passions.

7. That's what I thought about Smirk, but they're still here

Mean, stupid, ignorant, corrupt, amoral. she's this year's Bush, and the GOP rank-and-file love her, just like they did Smirk.
