Seriously. I was wondering this morning about the "leaks" about "disunity" out of Obama's up til now very tight campaign. Were they deliberate crumbs fed to the media to string along the media, and ultimately many who would otherwise not have tuned in? So they'd come to the campaign expecting a replay of the 68 protests and disunity. Only to see night after night of a total unified lovefest completed with 78,000 people singing kumbala? Seriously, the aerial views of that placed were stunning. Totally stunning.
And then there's Brooks. He's been playing the Obama/celebrity airhead meme for a while. I was totally thrown by his positives about a Biden choice.
And then this week, after the first 2 nights, he seemed totally despondent. And then this piece of plagiarized tripe this morning...
Was he fed a leak about a different veep choice? By pushing Biden, did he think he was setting up Obama for a "see, he chose an inexperienced airhead instead of somebody substantial like Biden" only to be thrown totally off message when Biden was the choice.
Was his plagiarized tripe about and "airhead Obama" prepared in advance of last night's substance-full speech? Or did he drink a little too much in the very thin mountain air?
Whatever it is, his attacks this week have been desperate. And seriously, this piece of tripe writes him off as a total hack. When the rethugs go down, Brooks is going to go down with them. He doesn't have the skills to keep his career alive in such an environment.
