"Read it? Good God, no! It's bad enough to write such a thing."
-- Robert Heinlein, "Stranger in a Strange Land"
David Fucking Brooks demonstrates how to make a very, very good living punditting in three easy lessons (emphasis added):
Lesson One --
"...the Republican Party may no longer be a normal party. Over the past few years, it has been infected by a faction that is more of a psychological protest than a practical, governing alternative."
-- David Fucking Brooks, New York Times, July 4, 2011.
Lesson Two --
"...the Republican Party is still a normal party, and they are going to go for a normal candidate, whether it is Mitt Romney or somebody else."
-- David Fucking Brooks, "The News Hour", July 15, 2011.
And, most important...
Lesson Three -- Have rich, insulated, insider douchebag friends who will pay you a King's Ransom no matter which side of your mouth you lie out of.
So endeth the lesson.

You should right a book.
How to right like Hackneyed Journalism 101 or How to Right like David Brooks.
The existence of David Fucking Brooks is a rock solid case for the nonexistense of a loving god. Huh, I guess you can prove a negative after all.
In his next column, David Fucking Brooks will attempt to split the difference between his columns of July 4 and 15.
Definitive proof that David Fucking Brooks does not read David Fucking Brooks.
What was the guy's name in Catch 22 who sold stuff to both sides and made a huge profit? Milo something?
Fearguth, I think you are wrong. The next DFB article will be about how the Democrats have extremest agendas too and if only they would be willing to meet to the far right of the middle then he will be right--an extreme faction of ultra-right-wing that started out as a policy position really can become a normal governing party.
What do you mean that left is not right and up is not down? And war is not peace? Slavery is not freedom? Pshaw, surely you're just one of those idjut libruls. It makes perfect sense that the truth can be two simultaneously opposite things at the same time* {/snark}
*well maybe in quantum physics
So, just the typical wingnut business plan:
Step 1: Something really stupid.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: PROFIT!
Also, too: Wolverines!
I'm with Sophist re the continuing existence of David Fucking Brooks.
