Respect for intelligence and character has always been the best thing about authentic conservatism. Christopher is just being true to his values.

Eight days after David Brooks admitted at a Manhattan forum that Sarah Palin was not qualified for higher office, he still has not shared this view with readers of his column.

Bottom line: Do Bill Kristol and David Brooks understand the basic tenets of opinion journalism?

Recent events should not be allowed to obscure the reality that the news media played a pivotal role in stampeding the country into a bailout that was unwise and unjust.

I've recently spent a lot of time talking with top Republicans, virtually all of whom think Obama has it won. One or two said, wistfully, "What about the Whitey tape, maybe that would change it?" Of course, there is no Whitey tape.

In his column after the vice presidential debate last week, the New York Times' David Brooks, a man with deep respect for erudition, surprisingly wrot...

Why are average voters better at piercing Palin's hypocrisy than pundits who get paid to do so everyday?
Greg Mitchell | Posted 10.08.2008 | Media
At least Palin tells us what she really feels. Brooks' dishonesty is frightening.

What's the point of television sports criticism? It's not like a Broadway Musical where a bad review may keep you from seeing it. The game is over.

As Palin continued with her non-answers, winks, and jibes, there was no way to conclude anything but -- this woman has no idea what she's talking about.

David Brooks is used to hanging around with liberals -- his wife and three children, among others, support Barack Obama -- but has grown angry at the ...

It will be interesting to see if Obama slyly eggs McCain into digging himself into an even deeper moral quagmire, as he did so cleverly with Hillary/Bill on the race issue.

Reagan is often looked upon as the Republicans' FDR. But Reagan sold the nation a bag of goods. We can finally see clearly the failed results of this three-decade experiment in laissez-faire capitalism.

Questioning Sarah Palin about her resume, or asking for government regulation in the economy are not examples of Elitism or Populism, and there's no need to redefine these perfectly good words.

Despite the revelation, first reported on Monday, that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin once directed a pro-Ted Stevens political committee, the notion still p...

Kudos to The New York Times for giving one of its esteemed columnists an opportunity to at last strip away the tweedy right wing pretense of his position and let his freak flag fly.
Andy Ostroy | Posted 08.05.2008 | Politics
Brooks summarily tears apart Obama's entire career as if it's truly meaningless. Give us a break-- your shameless partisanship precedes you. You're a Rove in sheep's clothing.

Where is this mysterious "void" in Barack Obama's background that David Brooks and other right-wing commentators keep wringing their hands about?

A good rule for office seekers is to never hint that you read your own media reviews. Stay on the meat of your policy and vision, and sell only that. It'll sell you.

As I recounted in my initial thoughts about the Obama Berlin speech, I recalled that Gandhi said we have to value our words as much as our actions. Obama understands that, and our history has shown it to be true.
Marc Kusnetz | Posted 07.25.2008 | Politics
Each time Obama steps on a new stage, the press criticizes his rhetoric as high-falutin' but devoid of content. Do they think Berlin was the perfect time to announce a new initiative for the earned income tax credit?
Christopher Farah | Posted 07.25.2008 | Politics
By emphasizing the commonality of the U.S. and Europe's destinies above all else, Obama is beginning the healing process after eight years of Bush pompously dictating to the world.
