Ouch. Sarah Palin took a swipe at vocal elitist New York Times critic and so-called conservative, David Brooks. Brooks has attacked Sarah Palin several times over the past year. He calls himself a conservative yet voted for socialist Barack Obama. Sarah Palin fudged his name… the ultimate insult to an state-run media [...]

NY Times Columnist David Brooks is losing it. (Healthcare) Reform would make us a more decent society, but also a less vibrant one, writes Brooks in The Values Question. It would ease the anxiety of millions at the cost of future growth. It would heal a wound in the social fabric while piling another expensive and untouchable [...]

There ya' go, Brooksie (photo by alan synchronicity, detail) Except for Dick Cheney, David Brooks must be the only man who has read Charles Dickens and imagines himself as the workhouse manager rather than the starving boy asking for more food. He admires, too, Scrooge and his counting houses, not the Bob Cratchets who make them work. His refrain for the holidays is, “Are there...

Gary Weiss submits: David Brooks' New York Times op-ed column today on Tim Geithner (mentioning in the lead my Portfolio cover story ) misses the point, I think. The problem with Geithner's approach is not whether or not the banks are recovering because of the TARP program, but the degree to which the profits of the biggest banks have not been matched by a commensurate ability to lend....

David Brooks has a column defending Timothy Geithner's handling of the financial crisis: "the evidence of the past eight months suggests that Geithner was mostly right and his critics were mostly wrong. The financial sector is in much better shape than

Parents understand backwards induction. We believe that if our child can attend an elite university that this will build his/her human capital, social networks and resume. The fancy university bumper sticker on your car will signal that this kid should and will be part of the meritocratic elite (i.e the NY Times David Brooks). Is any of this logic actually true? Do the elite schools really...

By Peter LaBarbera New York Times columnist and TV pundit David Brooks is a liberal’s kind of conservative. The other day, Brooks made news deriding Sarah Palin as a “joke” on a Sunday talk show. Liberal Palin-haters couldn’t be more pleased, as they always are when “moderate” (read: socially liberal) Republicans deride pro-family conservative...

Reading David Brooks' comments on whether he supports the health care bills , I realized that my opinion is similar. However, I think I end up closer to the support side than Brooks does. I genuinely don’t know where I will stand when the final bill is produced. I like the fact that the administration is much more conscious of keeping the deficit in line than any earlier...

The notion that “the mind is what the brain does” is catching fire in academia, especially in the trendy area of neuroscience. In other words, you — your personality, your most intimate self, your dreams, your convictions — are electrical circuits sparking in your gray matter. Recently, New York Times pundit David Brooks informed [...]

... certainly get no argument about that from me. On Bill O'Reilly's show, Palin pluckily responded to David Brooks condescendingly tagging her as "a joke"... and I instantly winced, knowing that a New York Times writer, ANY New York Times writer, is instant hate-material out here in the heartland. In fact, David Brooks will likely be prominently featured in Palin's...
