Pissing Into the Wind; Right-Wing Pundit Edition

David Brooks offers some ideas of what the party of Hoover could be doing. However, at the end of his piece, he concedes that the Hooverites are not going to do anything other than their current course of conduct, which is to march in lockstep behind Mount Rushbo.

There aren't too many times that Bobo gets to look back and say "I toljaso," but this could be one of them. The lemmings in the party of Hoover are following Ye Olde Fattie One right off the edge of the cliff; the cries and warnings of conservative pundits like Bobo and Whatzerface in the Washington Post are just wasted column-inches.

Interesting... but note that while he condemns the "no-ism" rampant in his party, the majority of his recommendations are negative: stop doing this, don't do that, quit "work on long-range plans to reform education, health care, energy and a dozen smaller things." Brooks (and the rest of the rethugs) are utterly blind to the fact that these "smaller things" are part and parcel with the financial problems. And his call for rethuglican fiscal balance is laughable.

"Do I expect them to shift course in this manner? Not really." I don't really understand what he's talking about. It seems to be some looney version of "Stop saying no to all that stuff, and start saying no to all this stuff." There's not one, original proactive idea in there. The two unoriginal proactive ideas are support Obama's "plan for global stimulus coordination," and "being out front with ideas to support the wealth-creating parts of the economy."

Great ideas, Bobo.

Brooks is not "blind". He is just a lying hypocritical scumbag who never ever does anything other than provide intellectual-sounding support for policies that benefit him and his ultra-rich cronies. It is a fucking joke the way that he acts like "The Republican Party" is doing all this stupid shit, when he was one of the greatest cheerleaders and supporters of the explicit decision the Republican Party made to embrace neo-feudalism founded in racism, misogyny, and theocratic bullshit.
