1. High on unexamined privilege

[cinnabonbon]

10. I laughed at that, too! Priceless.

[CFLDem]

14. Roflol

[Rex]

2. David Brooks gets a verbal beat down by Mark Shields in a pleasant way.

Like I give two shits what that NYT loser thinks about weed, clearly he has no moral compass. Which makes him a perfect Repuke.

3. anagram for "David Brooks"

Avid S.O.B dork

[Electric Monk]

16. dork diva S.O.B.

is another

[trusty elf]

18. :-)

that's better

[Paladin]

4. Like I posted elsewhere this morning: Who takes Brooks seriously, anymore?

He's devolved into a parody of himself, a national laughing stock. "Unexamined privilege" pretty much covers it....

5. Influential opinion columnist. LOL.

6. Jon Stewart summed it up well:

8. Jon Stewart is a gift.

It is sad that the best Political Commentary allowed in the USA
is found on the Comedy Channel.

12. Agree! with a few exceptions

Bill Moyers, most notably.

[bvar22]

20. Agree on Moyers,

and would also add:

* Matt Taibbi

*Seymour Hersh

*Greg Palast
(one of the very FEW "investigative journalists" with the courage to pursue the story about voting "irregularities" in the Florida 2000 & 2004 Presidential elections.
Without HIM, this might not have ever been uncovered.

Notably, he has claimed to have uncovered evidence that Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, and Florida Elections Unit Chief Clay Roberts, along with the ChoicePoint corporation, rigged the ballots during the US Presidential Election of 2000 and again in 2004 when, he argued, the problems and machinations from 2000 continued, and that challenger John Kerry actually would have won if not for disproportional "spoilage" of Democratic votes.

19. Mark Twain....

wrote some great, funny political commentary in his day. I think Twain had some comedian in him.

[L0oniX]

9. Where's his buddy Chucky Craphammer?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. "moral ecology"?

This goes back to the idea that wealth is a reward bestowed by God for being good and poverty is a punishment for sin.

You know, there was a time when Satan tempted people to sell their soul for fame and fortune.

Eliminate the supernatural and see that parable was written to describe a very old relationship between the classes.

13. David Brooks proves his irrelevance everytime he opens his privileged mouth.

[Solly Mack]

15. K&R

[SomethingFishy]

17. You would think that the rollout in Colorado would shut these assholes up..

Unless they are reading Breitbart where they seem to think that a kid eating part of a cookie they found on the ground outside their apartment that was supposedly laced with weed is cause to drop the whole thing.

Now that rash of murders and overdoses could be cause to drop the whole thing, if they in fact actually existed.
