2. LOL: dubya needs david Brooks to speak for him
I guess his earpiece was not working well during the interview ? But wasn't the interview totally scripted anyway ?? How could not the Prez find the right words ? Freaking NYT for hiring David Brooks...

5. Haven't read a word of it yet, I clicked reply as soon as I saw the title
But I would believe he'd stoop to ANY depth.

Brooks is a madman is the throes of acute cognitive dissonance.

I seriously don't think he'll last the year at the NYTimes unless he gets a grip but fast.

6. Disgusting beyond words - but that's David Brooks for ya
I read it out of a lurid fascination... It piques my curiosity to see how far he'll go, to debase himself. He reminds me of someone who would cheerfully swim in a cesspool against the current with his mouth wide open, if he thought it might help him ingratiate himself with his masters.

I'm particular repelled by this passage: "The second proposition is that 9/11 was not a discrete crime. Something so horrible could not grow from a small cause...."

- The thing is, even though 9/11 was certainly a bad thing, it's not much when compared to scores of far worse things that the US government has done to other countries. It is absolutely NOTHING compared to Vietnam, the nuking of civilians in Japan, the Reagan Central American wars, & the many dozens of brutal dictatorships we've installed &/or supported for decades. It's one thing to say that 9/11 was a tragedy, but to point to it as some sort of ultimate in the history of human suffering is childish and deeply dishonest.

Brooks seems tasked with a special mission, among rightwing writers. He's trying to supply the Peggy-Noonanesque flowery prose angle; trying to give people a tear in the eye when they think of their "beloved brave president." :puke:

7. Brooks is a vile, lying sack of excrement. He had to apologize for
an piece he wrote in which he stated that the word, "neocon" was put into circulation by anti-semites.

8. Ew.
That's just a revolting as what the idiot actually said:

"I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign policy matters with war on my mind. Again, I wish it wasn't true, but it is true. And the American people need to know they got a president who sees the world the way it is. And I see dangers that exist, and it's important for us to deal with them."
