Wow, there's a news flash for you?

Let's just hope rush never takes up flashing folks.

Wow, pretty insightful commentary there. Wonder how much he makes to sniff that kind of stuff out?

It's going to be difficult to find a wall long enough to line these treasonous bastards up against. Maybe the wall between the US and Mexico will be put to some good use, after all.

:lol: at Marcus Aurelius' comment

I call BS. They're distancing themselves from him because they know they can't win if they stick with him. Any hatred they have is based on their hatred of losing control.

It's not even "party over country", it's "self over country". These repukes are in repuke areas. They toe the party line to keep their particular bases in line.

The politicians of both parties are afflicted with this disease. They will say anything to get elected (re-elected), and then give the finger to those who voted for them by totally ignoring the talking points they used to persuade the voters to give them their votes. Corrupt to the core - except for a few on the Democrat side, and that number dwindles with every fake attack on bush and/or the repukes.

David Brooks is channeling his inner-Mel.

Oh poor Tweety.

Here's a song for you...

But then booshco will forget to issue ammunition to the firing squad.

That might mean raising taxes.

The firing squad will need to buy their own ammo and supply their own weapons. Budget cutbacks, you know.

They are Christians. If found guilty, they should receive a Biblical punishment.

So according to Tweety, 70% of the country are "the real whack jobs..."

Fuck you, Chris. And while you're at it, take Busholini's cock out of your ass.

The newsflash for me is the extent to which Brooks himself has caved. Matthews is yesterday's dog's dinner. I love C&L's video clips. I dumped my TV in 2001 and it's gratifying now and then to catch up with a wonderfully edited videoworld thanks to C&L. Gratifying? Sure! All those guys look so much older since the last time I saw them! And a lot less sure of themselves.

Alright, I was a bit rash but I'm sick & tired of Tweety the schizo. One day he's critical of Busholini and then he's in love.

Later in the interview, Brooks says he suspects professional wrestling is fake, and that Paris Hilton "may not be so smart after all."

The emperor's clothes are absolutely beautiful. And if you say anything negative about them, you're going to Gitmo.

The look on Mathew's face......Priceless!
That's right chis...welcome to reality. I mean what did you think everyone is so pissed off about? we are watching while criminal traitors destroy our great Country from the inside.

Tweety acted like someone took away his "Fred Thompson Manly Cologne" inhaler or something?

What, he thinks at 30% approval, and being out fund raised by the Democrats, Bush is popular with the RNC?

The problem for those crooks is, they have built up this cult of personality with the Base, so they can't distance themselves from Bush....

Not yet, anyway.

But, you watch the speed which which they "disappear" Bush as soon as Rudy or Mitt or Fred is crowned their new King.....

It will be Orwellian, Bush will be an instant non-person.

I can promise you, they will mention Ronnie Rayguns 100 to 1 times more at the convention then GWB!

To answer Tweedy's question, yes, Bush will speak at the RNC convention.

At the Tuesday night 10 PM time slot, when the delegates are all out partying, or already drunk and back in their rooms....

Of course, when they thought his incompetence was only destroying the country -- well, no problemo.

Pitty he didnt speak before many hundreds of thousands died. Brooks is an opportunist who is hunting for a new patron.

Well remember though its better to be wrong for the right reasons, than to be right and have your reasons be misrepresented by people who get everything wrong....

I thought maybe that he was avoiding the crassness of saying "mouth".

How can someone who seems so smart be so dumb? Okay. Okay. Nevermind, I got my answer. It was in the kool-aid.

Calm @ 45:

We all know what is gonna happen ....

The Democrats will take control of the complete government in 2008 and the Federal Reserve will dictate terms to the new Democrat President in the same way that Greenspan did with Clinton.

Greenspan allowed Bush to beef-up spending which was exactly what he refused to allow Bill Clinton to do.

The Democratic supporters will be ashamed of their newly elected president as they start to cut every conceivable social program.

The moment that a Democrat is elected as president, the markets will crumble even more then they are doing now. Because it will be impossible to introduce any increase in social spending.

The Federal Reserve chairman may allow universal healthcare because it will actually be a handout to business. Corporations will walk away from healthcare and stick the taxpayer with all the healthcare commitments.

If I were a Democrat, and realizing the crisis within the financial system, I would walk away from this election and let the Republicans fall on their swords. If not, the Democratic Party will always be known as the Party who raised taxes in order to fund social programs and thus put the country into a deeper recession then what was projected.

Calm

Yeah...right.

Like how the market crumbled under Clinton?

what it all boils down to is republicans hate democrats more then they love their country, they would rather see america destroyed before they would vote for this country!

Or, could be the party that reversed the 3 decade long packing of the courts, all the way up to the USSC with Right Wing Federalist Society Idealogues?

IF we have another Republic President, with TWO more cracks at the USSC (Ginsburg and Stevens) we could have the most idealogically UNBALANCED USSC in 100 plus years?

The last one we had like that, struck down any controls on Business, Minimum wage, child labor, any federal or state protection against any sort of discrimination in the work place.

You're talking worse the Mexico here, Oligarchy on Steriods.

And, it's not like the Republicans give a damn WHO gets the blame, they have already stolen all the money.

Nah, President Rudy, President Mitt or President Fred will just drive the bus over the cliff faster.

Besides, IF we are going to hell in a handbasket, I just want to hear Bill O'reilly say TWO Little words:

President Hillary!

whoa, david brooks is right about something!!! HEY-O!!!!

ding! ding! ding!

for those of you that guessed he would go until mid-2007 before getting something, anything right, please come to collect your prize.

now, i'm sure he'll go back to being a moron.

... but, but, but ....
David Brooks has been telling us that, really, Bush is engaged, and very smart.
So, what do you believe David?

Brooks got religion and is facing facts on the ground about Republican dismay with Bush Co. But he's doing it while kicking and screaming. He 's one of the "till the last dog dies" conservatives who gave Bush every support for every lie. He shouldn't even be a columnist. No credibility.

StCyrlyMe @ 41:

You could have fooled me on this one. If republicans think their fearless leader is in fact incompetent, why the hell do they continue to support ANY and ALL of his warped policies? We can't get any meaningful legislation passed for these thugs blocking it to give their loving boss the gold he demands.

Why the hell are all of these thugs running behind closed white house doors to everyone but them to get new marching orders to screw the people of this country?

This is bull shit and again a cheap attempt by Chris Mathews incompetent round table gang of right wing idiots to fool American people into thinking they need to vote for the ass holes running on the right.

Right, all Republicans hate Bush - and vote 186-2 to support his bullshit.

this is a good point.

and there is the whole slew of dems that can be easily frightened into supporting our dictator-in-chief too....

where are the leaders? where are our heroes? tom friggin paine we need you!!!

Barney wants out.

here's a conspiracy thought!

Bush has angered many in the justice dept with the illegal spying program. Why?

Bush weed out even some of the republican that were not Bush loyalist, why?

All republican are complicit with all of Bush mandate. Why?

We have scandals after scandals on illegal money transaction, and seems that every tree the legal defense climb come knocking another republican loose from the branches.

Could it be that every Republican in office has dirt that Bush manage to learn from and hold them over it with power? One of the biggest danger of the illegal spying act is that nobody is without fault, except Jesus. After witnessing Bush vindictive type behavior of everything he goes after, it is really a far fetch idea that Bush would manage to blackmail every govt official in the DC Beltway? We have seen the open blackmail of the press corp and the media, where the one station (FOX) with the worse credibility gets fair play of coverage of them in the White House. Can you really expect a different MO from Bush in how he handles his own party? The very people that Bush has to oversee his spy program are the very same people with dirt in their past record. McConnell and Gonzolas both have a huge history with Bush. Just a mere mentioning that you had involvement with the Bush would raise an eyebrow of scrutiny of your credibility.

BROOKS: Bush…you gotta remember though…a lot of Republicans hate Bush. I mean, we look..we talk about the Democrats, how they hate Bush, in private…

MATTHEWS: What do you mean, “hate Bush?”

BROOKS: They think Bush is incompetent and destroying their party.

____

I would rather use the word "disappointed and frustrated rather than hate," to describe Bush's failed and drastic policies. This is a hypothetical statement: what if Bush has been the scapegoat for the big mafia that is in reality destroying both parties? Or Bush and gang are in critical mess globally due to their greed for cheap labor and allowing Chinese market to boost. Today, China has become more powerful than the U.S. and exports goods to the third world countries. BTW, the warring with Iran may be simply due to the Chinese befriending Iran for oil.

Are we in secret competing with the Chinese? LOL

spero @ 71:

What a clever way for Repubs. to wash their hands of a disaster they helped enable...

no no no, I was never one of the GW republicans not me, no sir... real screw up that one, heh heh heh. Now MITT ROMNEY [or any other primary fodder], there's a Republican I can get behind!

Washed hands soiled by FISA vote.

When the majority FINALLY realized not only the ineptness, but blatant criminality of this craven neocon in the white house that's when it started to turn for the Brooks cabal. They supported all the attacks on our civil liberties, from Habeas Corpus to secret prisons, illegal wire taps, opening email, where was Brooks THEN. Did he stand up to the illegal invasion and slaughter of Iraq, or was he a little sycophantic cheerleader, advancing the neocon agenda, of world dominance.
Even the CFR or Bildebergers know bush is politically useless, hes accomplished many things for them from OIL tax breaks , BILLIONS in war profiting Contracts, so it shouldn't be surprising Brock disindigenously trys to slither away from bush, when he supported the criminal, when his polls ratings were higher and more importantly, caring the bush agenda water for most of his 8 years of terror , advancing every scheme they came up with and if you think the NEOCON agenda is going to magically disappear, during the next fabricated American Idol Scandal, to divert peoples attention, think again.
When Obama said " we need to keep some troops in Iraq , for our interests " WHO'S "OUR" DUDE ? The OIL COMPANIES or the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX or the NEW Resource War on the world, costing the tax payer trillions . When do the new bridges come in dude ?
Brock knows the only thing on the mind of the REAL power in this country, wHO to replace bUsh with, will it be a Dem or Rep. Hillary is for the occupation of Iraq, she's for the Billion dollar high tech surveillance Embassy, that will be spying on every Iraqi's cell phone conversation . Hell, they're doing it here .
Nothing much will change, they'll still be adding unneeded B-2 bombers to the list, costing over 2 billion, bridges will continue to fall apart, and who ever gets in the WH, the U.S. militarization of Africa and South America will continue and we will be guaranteeing another generation of resistance and blow back.

Whenever I call my republican congressman Roscoe Bartlett, Bush lapdog extraordanaire, I always represent my self as a disenchanted republican urging for impeachment based on the truth of the crimes, which I list in detail.

I always say Bush is destroying the party and if roscoe/gop'ers don't stop him, the GOP will go down for generations. I tell them I voted republican for years but cannot and will not do it again if they don't do something.

Then I write an op-ed that ties him to his votes and essentially shreds him with the truth of his enabling, suck-up, party above law and what's right, and his complicit destruction of our nation's once proud moral high ground. It's sad but I have no mercy for these bastards. This old fart is going down.

Guess what, David Brooks....nobody thinks very much of you either.

Yeah, they hate him because they're all gonna lose their cushy jobs when the repugs go down.

Pity.

I think we can all agree that this was pretty classless.
That's why I don't think that we (the progressive, the liberals, the Democrats, the non-devoid of any sense of decency) should not parrot this type of behavior.
We already know what really gets to these fuckers.
See something that really offends? Find out who advertises on that particular show and get them where it hurts, right in the pocket book.

Then the firing squad would be ordered to form a circle and fire, killing everyone because nobody had body armor, and the Repukes lined up against the Mexico would wriggle free and pry the fillings out of the firing squad's teeth and then cannibalize them.

folks, David brooks is simply lying.

He want to help Republican chances in 08 by distancing themselves from Bush

Wasn't it Matthews who said in 2005 that everyone loves bush and the few that don't are some kind of wackjobs?

Hi! Yellow Elephant Safari and WashStateBlue
Yeah…right.

I wanted to have you know that I read your comments or reply to my message.

When I made my comment, I was just thinking of the "Democrat" brand name. I think it will be completely ruined if they take Congress and the presidency in 2008. Everything will be stacked against them. There is no conceivable way that any increase in social spending will be possible. Everything will be cut-cut-cut.

At the moment the Federal Reserve is pumping trillions into the economy. It began with huge spending on Home Land Security, defense, and "easy" mortgage money. Job creation at it's best. I would think that shortly after the Democrat's take control, the Federal Reserve will reverse the "loose-money" policy and begin to tell the newly elected Democrat president that cuts to social spending need to take place. (As they did with Clinton and welfare reform.) The Democrats (and the media) will sell this change of policy as "tough" decisions and which would require a "strong" president.

The brand name "Democrat" will be stained as a result of broken promises, raised taxes and a decline of living standards.

In addition; I truly don't think there is much difference between both major political parties. All they seem to do is play musical chairs and regime rotation. Regime rotation provides the illusion of a functioning democracy.

Calm

Chris,

Don't you get it.

The Republicans in public, say in public that they dislike Bush, and in public say theystick with Bush over his incompetence and harm to the country because its Party over country. Its Party line over American soldiers lives. And they say in public this hate for Bush so in private they can suck up. Because no matter if this President accidentally set off a nuke. Its the republicans Party first. They will cover his behind.

So they tell us in public that really in private they hate Bush. So that is why they vote with him in robotic lockstep? They defend his every move? They lay down in court for prison to defend him as Libby?
They cheat taxpayer by doing all their politics on taxpayer time and have no time for thought of managing the nation? They call a 3 year occupation a War to prop up a President?

They hate him but strongly vote and give the President they hate unitary spying power? They trust the man they say they hate & is incompetent(Bush), so much that they vote and give him unitary spying powers and sell out the very people that voted them in by waiving the Constitution and Bill of Rights to their hated Bush.?

They hate Gays, Atheists, Liberals, protesters, Hillary, long hairs, poor people, democrats much more than Bush. matter of fact they seem to hate alot of things and deifferent people more so than most anybody else in America.........................

BROOKS: They think Bush is incompetent and destroying their party.

damn if he is destroying your party, imagine what he has done to the country. wake up and speak out republicans for F--k sake. this sure shows where repube priorities lie. to hell with america done mess up the party. and i thought i could not get any more pissed off than i was a minute ago.

[...] might want to watch this video – on last weekend’s The Chris Matthews Show, Matthews asks David Brooks who among the [...]

There's a candidate for Republicans who hate Bush. You know his name. Unfortunately, he's at two percent in the polls.

Maybe not that many Republicans hate Bush. Or maybe the election cycle is young.
