1. Thank goodness one the historians on PBS got a chance to tell him to STFU, in
much nicer words, of course.

2. Brooks is indeed an absolute tool
PBS must put him on just to piss off their audience.

5. PBS must have been forced to include him. Everyone else was much more interesting
and informed.

3. I heard him too. I think his is one of the lone opinions about the speech.
His negative opinion certainly stands out compared to others, even those who are partisan can admit that it was a great and inspiring speech.

6. I know! He said something about how "everyone" was going to be disappointed.
WHAT SPEECH WAS HE WATCHING?!

7. I don't think I have ever heard Brooks say anything worthwhile
I don't even know why they put him on PBS, he is a complete waste of breath.

10. He's so negative and snarky and whiney. He seems like the kind of guy who would
say something negative about ANY subject.

"It's such a beautiful day today, isn't it?"

David: "Well, I guess if you like sweating, and I'm not impressed with those puffy white clouds, they're not puffy enough."

"Oh, this chocolate cake your grandmother made is delicious, isn't it?"

David: "I've had better. Grandma underwhelmed me."

9. First Brooks says Obama's speeches lack substance, now he says it lacked emotion. Get Lost!
Brooks sounded like an idiot tonight, and I'm not even a Brooks hater normally.

11. I didn't know much about the guy before this week. Now I have no desire
to learn more. I just think he's an ass.
