Sarah Palin] represents a fatal cancer to the Republican party.
When I first started in journalism, I worked at the National Review for Bill Buckley. And Buckley famously said he'd rather be ruled by the first 2,000 names in the Boston phone book than by the Harvard faculty. But he didn't think those were the only two options. He thought it was important to have people on the conservative side who celebrated ideas, who celebrated learning. And his whole life was based on that, and that was also true for a lot of the other conservatives in the Reagan era. Reagan had an immense faith in the power of ideas. But there has been a counter, more populist tradition, which is not only to scorn liberal ideas but to scorn ideas entirely. And I'm afraid that Sarah Palin has those prejudices. I think President Bush has those prejudices.
Obama has the great intellect. I was interviewing Obama a couple years ago, and I'm getting nowhere with the interview, it's late in the night, he's on the phone, walking off the Senate floor, he's cranky. Out of the blue I say, 'Ever read a guy named Reinhold Niebuhr?' And he says, 'Yeah.' So i say, 'What did Niebuhr mean to you?' For the next 20 minutes, he gave me a perfect description of Reinhold Niebuhr's thought, which is a very subtle thought process based on the idea that you have to use power while it corrupts you. And I was dazzled, I felt the tingle up my knee as Chris Matthews would say.
And the other thing that does separate Obama from just a pure intellectual: he has tremendous powers of social perception. And this is why he's a politician, not an academic. A couple of years ago, I was writing columns attacking the Republican congress for spending too much money. And I throw in a few sentences attacking the Democrats to make myself feel better. And one morning I get an email from Obama saying, 'David, if you wanna attack us, fine, but you're only throwing in those sentences to make yourself feel better.' And it was a perfect description of what was going through my mind. And everybody who knows Obama all have these stories to tell about his capacity for social perception.
I don't think you will hear stories like that about Palin!Even one of the nation's top conservative Pundits knows a dangerously dumb empty suit when he sees it.
Obviously Cons really like dummies. They voted for the Chimp... twice!

David Brooks: Sarah Palin "Represents A Fatal Cancer To The Republican Party"
Sarah Palin is the conservative of the republican party, ha.ha. You know that long forgotten party that beleived that hard work paid off. The party that believed government was too BIG. The party that was extremely reluctant for government to get involved in the private sector. The party that believed that Americans knew better what to do with their own money, than the government. The party that believed government spent too much of our tax dollars. She is the female version of Ronald Reagan.
Now, we see what happens when people sway from that core principle. Government in the mortage loan industry that just cost of 700 Billion dollars--by pressuring banks to loan to individuals that could not pay it back. Of which, a very liberal democrat agenda got us into this mess.
Not Obama is talking about universal health care. LOL When that goes belly up--we'll all have to sacrifice kidney's to be sold to foreign countries, versus mortgages.

great--send the sick to Canada.
Ah the American answer to problems: They don't exist, until its an emergency.
