Heh, even he's right occasionally. Now, will his party listen?

1. Simple answers to simple questions:
No. The party base will dismiss anyone who disses Reagan's desiccated corpse as a RINO. Limbaugh must be obeyed, or he'll eat Princess Leia, bikini and all!

2. A voice of reason??
Among the Republicans? Actually, I listen to what David Brooks has to say. In the past, he's often had a bit of smart-aleck in his responses on Jim Lehrer's Newshour, but generally, he's reasonable.

It would be nice if more Repubs would take a page from his playbook. Nah.

3. Brooks has been getting it lately
I watched him on PBS after Jindal's speaking disaster. He called it just that.

8. will the reasonable Replublicans please stand up?
It would be silly to object to deficits now, given what Bush did for 8 years.
