Brooks Does Have A Point...
Lord knows, I find Brooks' low-fi operations on behalf of the Republican party to be repellant. But on the Obama issue, I can't see how a reasobable person could disagree. Brooks' writing is overblown and obviously biased, but who can't see the inevitable backlash? Earlier in his candidacy, Obama seemed to be letting others--surrogates, media, etc.--engage in the deification. Now, however, the airwaves are sick with Obama's declarations of his innocent purity and outsiderness. Many people feel--including me, and I voted for him in California--that one can only toot the holier than thou whistle so many times. Pretty soon, the history of Obama's very political votes and strategies will become apparent, and the hang-over will begin. The only thing that seperates Obama from Hillary and others is that he hasn't had as much time to get as barnacled as they have in the brackish waters of legislative politics.
