Regarding what you said about how being right not only doesn't matter, it usually ends up being a handicap: I really have to wonder how many of us realized that on some level by the time we were in our mid-twenties?
On the subject of David Brooks being as dead as Broder: If only! First of all, Broder isn't dead; his spirit still dominates your pundit class. Just wait until the GOP finally settles down with Mitt Romney, or even if they pick Santorum: Pundits will be lining up to tell you that the Republican candidate is very moderate and reasonable, really, and PolitiFact will proclaim that Obama lies just as much as the wingnuts do.
Secondly, every political talkshow on the big networks still reserves a chair for David Brooks. Yes, there are more people who mock him on a regular basis now, and in more visible venues (like Charlie Pierce). But if the right wing has anything to teach you, it's that you have to keep pounding until your opponent is completely flattened. Otherwise, they will just rise up again in a year or two, acting as if nothing happened. You thought Roe v. Wade was settled law, and that opposition to contraception was ancient history? Think again. It never ends. At the very least, it's a generational struggle.
Keep pounding. Give David Brooks the kind of Google problem that Santorum has. It doesn't help that your regular readers know what you're going to say, because the newcomers don't. This is the age of short memories, and people won't comb your archives to find out what you think about people like Brooks. If liberals decided to leave Bobo alone for a few months, he'd suddenly become a virgin again.
So you admit to living in the Philippines. Which madrasa did you attend, what is your muslim name, and how long have you been a close friend of Barry Soetoro?
More importantly, why haven't you cashed in on your obvious connection to the Islamofascist-Kenyan-Socialist-Chicago political crime families? Are you too socialist? Or is your anonymity part of your false flag operation, Mr. Cousin of Obama! Cue the dramatic groundhog!
Some would say that these questions have to be asked.
runste,
After one more post I have in the pipeline, I'm giving up Mr. Brooks for Lent.
David,
The conspiracy runs deeper than that -- my family left the Philippines on the same liner as Wm. Westmoreland!
Actually, BHO and I have had similar experiences at similar points in our lives, including crossing paths several times while he was living in Chicago and beginning to run for office.
Westmorland and a young Pres. Obama? A man of lesser character (see: Republican) would be on Fox News in two skips of a Cheney heartbeat in order to gin up publicity and a book deal.
Why must you be plagued with a conscience?
