Re: Brooks

Yes, Dave, he’s basically right. But I wonder if, when he first heard about the ports deal without hearing the details, his reaction wasn’t the same jolt of shock that all the rest of us felt. His language shows a weird lack of empathy for the very understandable concerns that this news raised at first blush. Compare his perspective to Jonah Goldberg’s LA Times column: Goldberg is also critical of the hysteria over the ports deal, but unlike Brooks he doesn’t descend into a reactive hysteria of his own.
