Has David Brooks lost his mind?
Check out this line of nonsense from David Brooks’ latest New York Times column:
Palin is smart, politically skilled, courageous and likable. Her convention and debate performances were impressive. But no American politician plays the class-warfare card as constantly as Palin. Nobody so relentlessly divides the world between the “normal Joe Sixpack American” and the coastal elite.
That second sentence contains the clinker… impressive debate performance? Sure, if “not crying” makes one impressive.
I was horrified by Brooks’ positive endorsement of Palin’s content-free performance at the Veep debates (he was a post-game comment provider on PBS), and agreed with one speculation that he must be besotted by her.
Palin may be effective on the stump, sharing pre-written zinger after zinger, but she was an embarrassment to the country in the debate.
