David Brooks is a guy who gets paid to fantasize about conservatism on PBS, he gets to be wrong most of the time, he sits up there with NPR's pragmatic liberal Mark Shields and plays the tragic conservative foil. Brooks barely chastises or raises an eyebrow when his Republican party runs things into the ground. Last night was different.
Brooks, in a steady OCD rocking motion, goes off on Bobby Jindal's Republican response, calling it "insane" and "nihilism". I guess you have to give him credit every once in a while.
Like the banks and Wall St companies that took their flawed game plan and, not just had a bad year with lower earnings, but completely destroyed themselves and are no longer around, the Republican brand is in the same boat. The people assessing the risk are not doing their jobs, the house of conservative cards is about to collapse. The GOP CEOS have ruined it for the GOP shareholders. And like the iconic Lehman's and the Merril Lynch's, you may have been around for years doing well, but now you don't exist.
