David Brooks was not wowed.

[GoesTo11]

Previewing spin points: Partisan, he was above the crowd.

Brooks looks confused.

"Most people see it as a bit of a disappointment"

The other PBS guy mocked him.

1. I'm sure infections aren't wowed by antibiotics either.

2. Who gives a fuck what Brooks thinks. nt

[AspenRose]

3. Brooks is an idiot

What did we expect from that moron?

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. Good litmus test for (a) quality of the speech, and (b) will Obama win.

David Brooks wasn't confused so much as totally in foreign territory (an inspiring politician with real ideas???_) and also scared shitless because now he knows that McCain will be drubbed.

Also, I expected nothing more from the hack Brooks!

5. Kristol said it was "an awfully impressive performance"

and then Brit Hume started to say something so I had to leave.

[mzmolly]

11. A disappointment for

Republicans, that is.

[nancyr]

12. Who cares what he thinks???

Of course he's confused....he's clueless.

[grace0418]

13. What fucking speech was he watching? He is a fucking idiot.

Thank goodness Jim Lehrer gave that historian the last word and the opportunity to tell Brooks he was an idiot in nicer words.

15. now that is truly other worldly

Frankly, I am a bit of a cynic about most political speeches. As much as I do indeed support Sen. Obama for the Presidency, I have always been privately and among friends a wee bit snide about Barack Obama's speeches. I'm just cynical by nature when it comes to the rhetorical flourish of most politicians including Barack Obama.

But all politics aside. All ideological and philosophic questions aside. That was one of the best political speeches ever given by any candidate of any party anywhere, anytime! And EVERY SINGLE GOP consultant KNOWS IT and admits!!

What alternative universe does Mr. Brooks live in? :crazy:

[swag]

16. Bobo is always worthy of mockery.

Being mocked is his reason for existence.
