Good riddance…happy he’ll be leaving the NYT, and I hope to hear no more from him.

We can build a democracy, even though they are in their gated community taking pot shots at us.

He has no depth of thought, just writes what he thinks "rings true" that is often gross overgeneralizations and stereotypes.

Nothing could erode public trust in universities more than giving people like David Brooks fancy titles, salaries, and -- most harmful -- microphones.

Brooks has the distinction of being wrong every time he opens his mouth.

he's just late to the party. Worthless.

when I lived in New Haven (for 30 years) we blamed Yale for creating a despotic leader in the Bush family. They weren't. We didn't anticipate the despot we have now, TSF!

whose skin crawls every time I hear him speak.

I've been hoping that since NPR lost fed funding, they'd stop featuring people like him – but I haven't seen much evidence of that so far.

Will he be leaving his PBS gig as well?

He should fade into obscurity.

Yes, he eventually comes around. But this is not any kind of forward thinking as much as being dragged with the flow. I wouldn't even let him join the Whiffenpoofs, not to mention the Yale faculty.

Not completely wrong, because people will just think you're an idiot and not care. Not completely right, because people will agree with you and not feel the need to say anything in addition. Be a little wrong and everybody feels compelled to correct you and tell you what you got wrong and why. Lots of attention and publicity!

Somewhere along the line he became wrong about everything, maybe out of habit, and mesmerized by his own droning voice. He really needs to divorce himself and start over. Encouraging him to bore people to death is not doing him any favors.

And I think it's part of the sum of why I can't stand him. Of all the conservatives who have "come around" I have the least amount of patience for him. Much of it may by that droning voice.

He complained about a $70 restaurant bill at Dulles Airport. What he didn't mention was that the large burger and fries only cost $15. The rest of the bill seemed to consist of mysterious brown colored liquid on the rocks.

Even though thete was no supporting evidence, I have no use for anything he is selling.

Iʻm especially uninterested in his lectures on morality.

If he ever apologized about it, I am unaware of that.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Charles P. Pierce:

David Brooks Didn't Do the Reading. Look What Happened.

Hmmm… Ivy leagues dominated by a bunch of pedos and pedo apologists… Summers, Dershowitz, Chomsky…those were all Harvard. Yale doesn’t sound like it’s much better.
