Shawn: Without going into such philosophical depths as James Poulos, I contend that David Brooks lost me when, in starting out his never to be forgotten column, he wildly denounces the current "generation of political leaders," including the pro-bailout George W. Bush ("completely out of juice"), Henry Paulson ("inept"), Barney Frank (a "too busy" "media darling") and Nancy Pelosi ("did she have to act like a Democratic fund-raiser...?") -- yet attacks the 228 "nihilists" who voted against the Bush-Paulson-Frank-Pelosi bailout plan for refusing to follow such leadership.
With any luck, President Obama will appoint David to high office and we'll see for ourselves how well he does.
The Democrats say Obamacare opponents are a mob. Are they right?
