David Brooks lets the mask slip

[midnight armadillo]

Brooks ran an editorial in the NYT pushing Biden as the best choice veep for Obama. Link:http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/22/opinion/22brooks.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

Then on NPR this evening, in his regular commentary with E.J. Dionne, Brooks lets slip the anti-Biden strategy: by picking Biden, Obama shows he needs someone with Washington experience since he is inexperienced, and that he needs someone who's been through life experiences because Obama is shallow. Then he goes along with some fantasy of Obama making a decision unpopular with his cabinet but it's ok since his veep's got his back.

So there you have it...the theme will be: Obama needs experienced, grizzled Washington-guy Biden because Obama is weak, gutless, lacks character, and is still wet behind the ears. Remember how Bush picking Cheney was a sign of reassurance and strength? Yeah, me too. Don't forget: Republican choices good, Democratic choices bad.

1. Such horrible people

they seem to spend their time screwing around with anything and everyone that is not identical to themselves or at least their illusion of themselves. This is what they call intelligence.
Definitely a separate species.

2. Mask?

I guess he didn't exactly do the waltz with Rove... but still...

What mask?
