3. I really, really dislike that man |
|
He seems very smarmy to me and he is a complete hack. The NY Times should be embarrassed. Plus, every time I see him I have a tremendous desire to punch him in the stomach.

A friend of mine says his books are more thoughtful, but I haven't ready them. I do know the stuff he writes in the Times is awful.

12. Al Franken spoke to that on his show. |

Said most of the stuff he wrote about was totally spurious.

9. definitely a charter member of the royal order of flaming douchebaggery |
|
i have been hoping for several years now that mark shields would punch him right in the mouth on while they debated on PBS news.
brooks is a lightweight intellect ans one who is unaccustomed to having his work critiqued in a critical fashion. i have seen the dochebag flumoxed repeatedly when challenged on his intellectual inconsistencies.

11. The thing about Brooks is that he really doesn't care how stupid the |
|
things he says sound.
I think he really thinks very little of the average American's intellect. He's really willing to say just about the most absurd things.

13. he actually writes some interesting books on the subject of |
|
urbaan development, how to keep the central city alive and vital, that sort of thing. saw him interviewed on a PBS show about how madison wisconsin has used urban planning to save its downtown and integrate it with the univversity of Wisconsin.
not sure how that connects brooks with his political columnist life tho.
