NYT columnist David Brooks hits a new low

[DCKit]

25. Yes David, everyone knows the average age of our population was only 14...

when SS and Medicaid were enacted. All our elderly and retired had been shipped off to British workhouses, euthanized in their rocking chairs or sent to the glue factory. You know, what the Republicans who never served a day in the military, waited a table, spoke the words "Welcome to Wal-Mart" or attended a high school that didn't have "Academy" in the name refer to as "The Good Old Days."

I detest David Brooks as much as anyone, but his fax machine is on a hotline from RNC headquarters - If he's saying it, it's going to be a major talking point of the Sunday Nooz shows. It's an RNC trial balloon and, unless it pops, they're going to run with it.

Of all the guests on all of the Sunday shows last week (I watched five of them) only one person said anything about military spending. That's where we need to take the conversation.
