:rofl: :rofl:

[JHB]

1. Can't view it right now: was he talking about Obama or Jindal? n/t

[malaise]

6. Jindal n/t

[JHB]

13. Thanks. Since it was Brooks you were speaking of...

...it wasn't safe to assume who he'd pan.

[grace0418]

18. So true.

I can't stand that guy.

[malaise]

24. Check out Nate Silver

10:29 EST (Nate): If it sounds like Jindal is targeting his speech to a room full of fourth graders, that's because he is. They might be the next people to actually vote for Republicans again.

28. I think Mr. Silver is underestimating the problems of the republican party.

I know it was just a joke, but some of today's 4th graders will be eligible to vote in 2016. And I honestly think Obama's presidency is the beginning of a 30 year trend to the left in this country. The next republican voters haven't even been born yet.

[ShortnFiery]

2. Don't ya just LOVE IT when the GOP comes out to eat their own?

[malaise]

7. Love it is a euphemism

Adore it, wallow in it, celebrate it :rofl:

[Baikonour]

3. He's absolutely right, republicans are nihilists.

K&R.

[Supersedeas]

17. they believe in the jingle of coin in the own back pocket -- jingles (as much humanity as they can

muster) - flesh, blood, bone, human creatitivy and love of life, nadda

just a sad pathetic jingle - a pathetic lot that would make Dickinson's pre-Christmas eve Scrounge blush -- but not these turdblossoms -- not so long as Defense Contractors rattle their chains to remind them of their real calling -- jingles, jingles

[salinen]

26. It's Jindal

not Jingle. ha ha.

[Raven]

4. I thought Brooks was going to put his head in his hands and weep.

[malaise]

5. He sure looked traumatized

:rofl:

[Happyhippychick]

8. Another bad day for the GOP. And I'm still as delighted by it as I have been for 18 months.

[SpiralHawk]

16. ...and another good day for America

Republicon Homelanders are the Masters of FAIL.

[gordianot]

9. Recommended

No one was screaming and the GOP was buried as the rotting corpse they are.

[tularetom]

10. Of course he spent years waving the pom poms for the very policies that led to this

But I guess that's OK.

[malaise]

12. He's just another Rushican hack

but it sure was fun watching him turn on his own.

[FatDave]

29. And therein lies the beauty.

It's one of their own. This isn't Keith Olbermann saying it, it's David Fucking Brooks, right-wing cheerleader extraordinaire. If he can smell the fail, the odor has become overpowering and undeniable.

[spanone]

11. the pugs are imploding

[Myrina]

14. Like Howard Dean said on MSNBC:

Jindal and the 'official wing of the GOP' are playing to the 15% of the population that is hard-right.

There's no way they're going to win future elections if they're not speaking to 85% of the American public.

Keep talkin', Bobby! :applause:

[malaise]

19. Howie was great last night n/t

[Odin2005]

15. The GOP is descending into madness, and I'm loving every minute of it.

They are rapidly becoming a sick, surreal joke.

[opihimoimoi]

20. He made deers in headlights look good...

[malaise]

22. Actually he looked more like a

mouse in a trap.

[opihimoimoi]

30. Beady eyes an all.....he was pathetic.....caught in an impossible situation

What possessed the Pubs to go w him???

Where were the MainLiner Pubs...hiding?

[lunatica]

21. Republicans have become the Party of Idiocracy. n/t

[malaise]

23. Have become?

Tut tut!!!! :rofl:

[lunatica]

25. Well, I was just making it official

You can never underestimate the power of stating the obvious

:toast:

[malaise]

27. LOL

Check out Nate Silver's comment above. :fistbump:

[spanone]

31. tom delay dismissed it on hardball, said brooks is no longer a conservative

bwhahahaha....
