Entry: The Real Rudy Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_real_rudy#10294 Post contents: David Brooks..... as my grandpappy P.C., proprietor of the Stockyards Cafe said whenever earnest idiocy reared it's smiling face... "makes about as much sense as a fart in a hailstorm". What I truly enjoyed about the Brooks piece is where he suggested that the G.O.P. would be better served by Rudy's "reformist" instincts. In that the GOP has been essentially reformed out of existence by the current Administration, reform aint what's needed. But , counter-intuition is to be expected around Mr. Brooks, a snoringly affable journalist who has been called "a conservative liberals can love". If this is truly the case, the smitten liberal and his counterpart, the reformed-conservative might be better served by re-learning how to enjoy the clarifying effects of informed principle, expressed without nuance and free of the erosive effects of popularized, one size fits all thinking.... the essential bane of the age.
