Prominent New York Times Columnist


Depicts Glenn Beck Rally as "warm, generous and uplifting" and "an affirmation of bourgeois values."

Other observers may differ.

aw c'mon, DG, I'm going into withdrawals here - it's been at least 3 days since a rip-roaring post skewering Da Mare, DFB, or other likely & ripe target... (And incidentally this sort of posting was more or less why I stopped reading Atrios.)

And if this is an NPR-style pledge drive can you at least let us know how far into/through it we are...

Cheers & keep up the great writing - I hope - ?

Jeez, I thought your link was a parody, maybe an Onion article.

Tell me it WAS a parody?

Holy fuck, he actually said that. Fuck-cakes, he said that.

(For an encore, he sang "what the simple folk do.")

I hope we all appreciate that while this post was funny, DG must have exercised great restraint in stopping there. This is likely his shortest Brooks post ever - other than some photoshop of a turd, maybe.

Sweden has egalitarianism, all right, DFB seems to forget this sentence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

But, of course, to the privliged who only occasionally walk among the "unwashed" ("I did and I have to confess I really enjoyed it") those words are only part of a middle school civics lesson, unless the cutbacks due to tax cuts for DFB have eliminated those lessons, as well.

Now that Novak is gone, somebody (DFB) has to carry the "Douchebag of Liberty" Mantle, I s'pose.

"The only bit of unpleasantness I found emanated from some liberal gatecrashers behaving offensively, carrying anti-Beck banners and hoping to get in some televised fights."

DG, you bring the tar, I'll bring the feathers.

Love the new look, btw.

Sooner than I expected....
