David Brooks shows that it's possible to fill an entire op-ed space in the New York Times with trite psychoanalysis. But I agree with Kevin Drum that along the way he slips and lets out a damning truth:
"The Republicans are intellectually unfit to govern right now..."
That's quite a confession for a conservative, no? It might lead one down a more intellectual and self-reflective track, perhaps ending in the conclusion that, "I shouldn't be voting for Republicans." But no, instead we're treated to a gleeful play-by-play of the political cycle that ends in the revelation that "[w]eirdness wins."
And thanks to guys like Brooks, it just might.
