Reply #2: tonight I lost the last shred of respect for Brooks

Brooks just doesn't have a clue. For one thing, he sticks stubbornly in his rut, believing that idea about Iraqis staying with insurgents--where does he get that from? Who are his sources? I might just as well argue the opposite is true.

But the main thing was his gross misunderstanding of the Democratic amendments--he totally mischaracterized what the two Dem amendments stated. How lazy can you get? What did he do, scan across some transcripts on the way up in the elevator? I'm most familiar with Kerry's, and Brooks' complaints about it are patently false.

It makes me want to just stop watching Newshour, or at least the Brooks and Shields spot, which used to be my favorite spot on Newshour.
