Oh man. The latest. At least he isn't shrill, heh heh, this time—calling critics of the neo-cons anti-semites must not have gone over that well with his masters. Anyhow, this time Brooks has adopted a sunny, optimistic tone. The Iowa results have given Dave new confidence that democracy is healthy in America, and he has constructed a typical Democratic voter for us:

If you had to pick a quintessential figure to represent the Iowa Democratic voters who have been showing up at rallies over the past few days, it would be a 55-year-old teacher. She is a moderate, optimistic, progressive educator who wants to believe in politics again. She wants to believe that big changes can still be made in this country, and that big challenges like poverty and the uninsured can still be addressed.

Of course, Brooks winger masters want to destroy this woman's life and everything she's worked for. They want to privatize education and destroy the public schools; they want to hand over her pension to thieves on Wall Street; and they want to destroy the political system she wants to believe in through gerrymandering and tampered election results. I always like it when Republican MWs give the Democrats advice on how to win, or be competitive, or compliment them. It's cute, and it doesn't cause any harm, as long as readers understand it's totally disinformative.

I wish Brooks could figure out from week to week if he wants to be an attack dog or smarmy. It's confusing the readership.

Oh, and Brooks also is relieved to hear that most Democrats are "not haters." They never were, Dave, they never were.
