< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Sometimes We Want To Screech In David Brooks' Ear. Then Sometimes, Like Today, We Want To Rub His Fuzzy Balding Head
BABBLING BROOKS David "My fellow Americans, it is an honor to address the Democratic National Convention at this defining moment in history. We stand at a crossroads at a pivot point, near a fork in the road on the edge of a precipice in the midst of the most consequential election since last year's American Idol. One path before us leads to the past, and the extinction of the human race. The other path leads to the future, when we will all be dead. We must choose wisely."The rest of it's pretty great too. Even better than the 1983 undergraduate column he wrote mocking William F. Buckley, who promptly publicly offered the saucy youngster a job at his little magazine, the National Review. Sometimes we wonder what would have happened if the Onion had gotten their hands on Brooks before Buckley. Okay, our brain just exploded; we're back now. Sorry, don't agree with this on any level. It wasn't particularly funny or entertaining, not to mention downright insulting and patronizing to Obama and the democrats. Check out the Comments if you don't believe me. Posted by: sailor on August 29, 2008 3:43 PM It was hilarious. The best David Brooks column ever. Posted by: Swifter on August 29, 2008 5:00 PM Hey Swifter. Again. You're waaaay out of your depth over here? Go on back to the ass-kissing commenters on Gawker where you belong. Posted by: sailor on August 29, 2008 5:13 PM I wonder when Woody Allen will file the plagiarism suit, since the quote that Ms. Shnayerson thinks is so snarkily funny was even better 40 years ago, when it was first written. Oh for the days when "journalists" actually read a few books before they pronounced themselves ready to be effete culture critics.
