1. Uh, yeah. Thanks for the help there, David.

Accountability? Can you speak it?

[Zenlitened]

2. Hmmmm... "confused," huh? I guess that's progress.

It's a step up from dead wrong.

:eyes:

[Pharaoh]

3. He's thinking about

jumping ship perhaps, the ship is sinking David! Save your sorry ass!!!

[disndat]

5. WOW

I can't believe what's happening. First, Ed Koch, now David Brooks. A cataclysmic end? A BushCo flame out? Just a few days ago, things looked so hopeless with Democrats blocked by big bad Bush at every turn.

[ooglymoogly]

4. Meanwhile back in long forgotten reality, a few hundred innocent Iraqi's ...and

3, 4, 5, or 6 of of our brave young troops are dying daily...really Mr Brooks its about 700 thousand needless deaths to say nothing of the scarred and maimed for life, and counting past time for you to get a clue. Tell me Mr Brooks, as a cheerleader for this TREASONOUS war, do you feel like you are choked and drowning in innocent blood? S!H!A!M!E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAME

[Wetzelbill]

6. yeah, coming from the guy who wrote a column

about how withdrawing from Iraq would create the 2nd "Thirty Years War."

7. Coincidentally, or maybe not,

Fred Hiatt has an op-ed in the WaPo that makes the identical argument in the same terms.

There seems to be a script driving this line of argument. Did it come from Rove? From the P-nackers? From National Review? It's amazing how quickly the republicon propaganda apparatus lumbers into action. Unfortunately for the Cons, we've seen it once too often. It's like noticing the moire pattern on a bad TV monitor. Once you've spotted it, it's really hard to ignore.

8. What a weasel.

He was one of the war's biggest cheerleaders.

[whistle]

9. Take a holiday David, just let some more observant reporters

...who are willing to stick their necks out, ask the tough questions and really dig for real answers. David Brooks, you are a waste of air time! :wtf:

[namvet73]

10. His Dog Ate His Opinion n/t

11. "I almost have no judgement"

The take away quote from that moron.

[JohnyCanuck]

12. I am also confused

I am confused how ignorant, shallow thinking, propaganda regurgitating assholes get to be seen as respected commentators on current events in the first place.

[defendandprotect]

14. Because ignorant, shallow thinking ,propaganda regurgitating assholes are running the networks --

and have been for decades --

Like Crossfire was disussion - -???
Discussion by General Electric -- war profiteer -- !!!

[supernova]

13. So why the snapshot of Mark Shields?

That's a weird editing job.

Anyway, glad to see that David Brooks is finally acknowledging the lala land fog he's been living in for the past six years.
