Are you smarter than David Brooks?
I sure as hell am.

I think my yellow lab might be as well.

5. When was the last time he was right on anything? Last Friday.

Last week driving back home I nearly got into a wreck when on NPR the hose was asking him about Reublican prospects in 2010 and 2012 and Brooks said, "Oh the Republicans aren't coming back anytime soon".

6. Yes. But I don't have a natty suit
so they never ask me to join the Sunday panel shows.

8. And you probably don't speak in that clam and "serious" manner a la William Kristol
so you can't become a talking poopie-head.

Speaking in the manner of a clam.....
They hiss and spit and dribble.

Like Grover Nordquist.

7. Isn't Everyone?
Possible exception of Sarah Palin. She set the stupidity bar so low nobody could get under it.

9. David Brooks just discovered the "infrastructure." In a column about a week ago
he was just giddy over the idea of investing in the renewal of this country's infrastructure. My question was: where in the world have you been? We pointy headed liberals have been talking ourselves blue in the face on this issue and you're just now waking up to reality?

I wish I got paid what he does to be so dense...

12. I have a pet rock that has more intelligence than David Brooks.
Next to William Kristol... Brooks is the most irritating talking face on TV.
