DAVID BROOKS IS A SOPHISTICATED HYPOCRITE
David Brooks, who was recently bestowed with a columnist posistion at the New York Times, is partisan right wing ideologue who attacks in all of his columns the Democrats. At least Tom Friedman and William Safire (although I despise them both) diversify their columns. However, David Brooks, who is a senior editor at the Weekly Standard, is totally hypocritical in his views. He claims that all these anti-bushies are a fringe element. He is DEAD wrong. There are more and more people and more and more organizations that are extremely concerned about Bush's steps and will be determined to stop him in 2004. He also states that the anti-Clinton sentiment was never as bad as it is now with the anti-Bush sentiment. Wait...Wait, do I smell A FUCKING HYPOCRITE....THE FUCKING REPUBLICANS IMPEACHED CLINTON ASSHOLE....GET READY TO BE MESSED UP IN 2004 BECAUSE WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS BUSH SHIT ALREADY.

SINCERAMENTE,
LA-SERPIENTE

2. Wow... he is really, really awful.
I occasionally saw him in the PBS program and I had a hard time with him.
But his writing is worse than his talking.

3. yuck
This is the second editorial I've read by him. And the second pool of vomit I've had to sponge off my keyboard. (ew - that was a bit graphic, even for me!)

Why the NYT gave this guy a desk is beyond me.

4. Agreed
But, then again, everything that the right does is hypocritical. Read Al Franken's new book if you get a chance, it deals with this. :)
