We almost missed showing you this little tidbit from last weekend’s “The Chris Matthews Show”. Matthews asks David Brooks who among the Republican presidential contenders would be considered the rightful heir to the Bush throne and David lets slip what we have all known for a while: Bush isn’t that popular, even with his own party:
BROOKS: Bush…you gotta remember though…a lot of Republicans hate Bush. I mean, we look..we talk about the Democrats, how they hate Bush, in private…
MATTHEWS: What do you mean, “hate Bush?”
BROOKS: They think Bush is incompetent and destroying their party.
Look how absolutely gobsmacked Tweety is with this information. For me personally, it just makes me angry. Because what it tells me is that these politicos enabling Bush to dismantle our Constitution don’t even have the courage of their own convictions–it’s just Party over Country over and over again.
Nitpicker points out that Brooks unintentionally revealed his true feelings about the party with Romney too...Paging Dr. Freud.

One Trackback To “David Brooks lets us in on a little secret: Everyone hates Bush“
Say it ain’t so! 8)
Wow, there’s a news flash for you?
Let’s just hope rush never takes up flashing folks.
Cat, time to release you from the bag.
Wow, pretty insightful commentary there. Wonder how much he makes to sniff that kind of stuff out?
No. Patriots all across the country just dont accept criminal coverups.
We are the majority.
STOP letting the treasonous media set ALL the talking points.
Just Who runs the DOJ?
Liars, Karl Rove and Coverup Artists.
Make no mistake. They are in full coverup mode.
They have been in full coverup mode since 2001,
July 2001… CHENEY Energy Task force, Enron..
And speaking of coverup in NEW JERSEY…
Democratic Representative Rush Holt (NJ-12) has been stonewalled in his efforts to get answers from the DOJ and the FBI about the status of investigations into the 2001 anthrax attacks on the federal government. The anthrax letters originated from his district.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/4/26/17724/7643
It doesnt take a rocket scientist to “connect the dots”.
The Anthrax letters came from inside the United States.
The letters contained a specific type of weaponized Anthrax made by a United States military lab
Right after 911 the Bush Administration tried to ram the USA PATRIOT Act through Congress.
And who got the letters…
Senators Tom Daschle (D-South Dakota) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont)
The two people who were in a position to hold up the disingenuously named “Patriot Act”.
Find out who is blocking the Anthrax Investigation
and you find out the truth to save our Country..
Certainly if our Founding Fathers were here today..
The Patriots would have had them and all the traitors in jail or hanged BY NOW.
Get this story in the MAIN STREAM when Congress comes back in session
And STOP letting criminals and their treasonous media set ALL the talking points.
We are not the United States of Criminals and Coverup
We are the United States of America.
It’s going to be difficult to find a wall long enough to line these treasonous bastards up against. Maybe the wall between the US and Mexico will be put to some good use, after all.
Tweety shows us just how clueless he is: “What do you mean, “hate Bush”? Hahahahahahahaha. Tweety, which beltway bubble to live in?
:lol: at Marcus Aurelius’ comment
Cowardly fucks! When Dems dislike another Dems, they say so. It’s called freedom of speech. Guess the repukes don’t know what that is.
Pathetic, repressed assholes.
I call BS. They’re distancing themselves from him because they know they can’t win if they stick with him. Any hatred they have is based on their hatred of losing control.
Matthews had the “that’s not in the script” look.
It’s not even “party over country”, it’s “self over country”. These repukes are in repuke areas. They toe the party line to keep their particular bases in line.
The politicians of both parties are afflicted with this disease. They will say anything to get elected (re-elected), and then give the finger to those who voted for them by totally ignoring the talking points they used to persuade the voters to give them their votes. Corrupt to the core - except for a few on the Democrat side, and that number dwindles with every fake attack on bush and/or the repukes.
Of course Tweety would be surprised.
He’s a Neocon.
David Brooks is channeling his inner-Mel.
Marcus Aurelius @ 6:
But then booshco will forget to issue ammunition to the firing squad.
That might mean raising taxes.
Oh poor Tweety.
Here’s a song for you…

The firing squad will need to buy their own ammo and supply their own weapons. Budget cutbacks, you know.
Wimps always flip off the bully in the playground… when his back is turned.
Does China make spines? Can we import some?
asdf @ 11:
MATTHEWS: “I like him. Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left.”
Welcome to the Class of 2007, David Brooks. Don’t worry, Chris, seats are available for the Class of 2008.

They are Christians. If found guilty, they should receive a Biblical punishment.
i didn’t even know he had another show besides hardball. damn.
So according to Tweety, 70% of the country are “the real whack jobs…”
Fuck you, Chris. And while you’re at it, take Busholini’s cock out of your ass.
“Everybody Hates Bush”…I should pitch that as a sitcom.
Of course this isn’t news. Bush isn’t a Republican, never has been, never will be. The fact that he ever gained so much power is party loyalty at it’s most dangerous. It didn’t matter that he was sleazy, corrupt, reckless, and kind of a moron. Bush’s victory was not only a triumph of blind party loyalty, but the willingness to place values over politics. If a Democrat took the route in Iraq that Bush has, Republicans would have gone after him faster than if he had gotten head in the Oval Office. But as long as he was a proudly Christian patriot, they were willing to go along for the ride.
The newsflash for me is the extent to which Brooks himself has caved. Matthews is yesterday’s dog’s dinner. I love C&L’s video clips. I dumped my TV in 2001 and it’s gratifying now and then to catch up with a wonderfully edited videoworld thanks to C&L. Gratifying? Sure! All those guys look so much older since the last time I saw them! And a lot less sure of themselves.
Weaseldog @ 20:
A spanking?
it’s hard to believe that some people think that the blog sites are a bit too crass.
Dr. A, was there no other way to make your point?
maybe just a wee bit of subtlety?
Weaseldog @ 20:

Could be time to dust off those copies of Dante’s Inferno.
ysbaddaden @ 25:
or have to pay twenty bucks to service a guy in a public bathroom in FLA
Matthews just can’t believe that statement. “What do you mean, ‘hate Bush’…?”
I swear, these people are so out of touch. A bunch of infotainment, Beltway morons.
oZer @ 26:
Alright, I was a bit rash but I’m sick & tired of Tweety the schizo. One day he’s critical of Busholini and then he’s in love.
ysbaddaden @ 25:
Yes, with those fighting rocks that Chris Mathews talks about.
Later in the interview, Brooks says he suspects professional wrestling is fake, and that Paris Hilton “may not be so smart after all.”
Is this one of those times where Brooks is telling the truth? And ah… Tweety is schidzoid.
The emperor’s clothes are absolutely beautiful. And if you say anything negative about them, you’re going to Gitmo.
e_five @ 34:
And… Keep your hands off of the Emperor’s Threads.
The look on Mathew’s face……Priceless!
That’s right chis…welcome to reality. I mean what did you think everyone is so pissed off about? we are watching while criminal traitors destroy our great Country from the inside.
Weaseldog @ 35:
I’d druther keep them off his nads.
Tweety acted like someone took away his “Fred Thompson Manly Cologne” inhaler or something?
What, he thinks at 30% approval, and being out fund raised by the Democrats, Bush is popular with the RNC?
The problem for those crooks is, they have built up this cult of personality with the Base, so they can’t distance themselves from Bush….
Not yet, anyway.
But, you watch the speed which which they “disappear” Bush as soon as Rudy or Mitt or Fred is crowned their new King…..
It will be Orwellian, Bush will be an instant non-person.
I can promise you, they will mention Ronnie Rayguns 100 to 1 times more at the convention then GWB!
To answer Tweedy’s question, yes, Bush will speak at the RNC convention.
At the Tuesday night 10 PM time slot, when the delegates are all out partying, or already drunk and back in their rooms….

ysbaddaden @ 39:
But, not with Peruvian Fighting Frogs?
You could have fooled me on this one. If republicans think their fearless leader is in fact incompetent, why the hell do they continue to support ANY and ALL of his warped policies? We can’t get any meaningful legislation passed for these thugs blocking it to give their loving boss the gold he demands.
Why the hell are all of these thugs running behind closed white house doors to everyone but them to get new marching orders to screw the people of this country?
This is bull shit and again a cheap attempt by Chris Mathews incompetent round table gang of right wing idiots to fool American people into thinking they need to vote for the ass holes running on the right.
BROOKS: They think Bush is incompetent and destroying their party.
Of course, when they thought his incompetence was only destroying the country — well, no problemo.
Pitty he didnt speak before many hundreds of thousands died. Brooks is an opportunist who is hunting for a new patron.
anon @ 43:
Well remember though its better to be wrong for the right reasons, than to be right and have your reasons be misrepresented by people who get everything wrong….
We all know what is gonna happen ….
The Democrats will take control of the complete government in 2008 and the Federal Reserve will dictate terms to the new Democrat President in the same way that Greenspan did with Clinton.
Greenspan allowed Bush to beef-up spending which was exactly what he refused to allow Bill Clinton to do.
The Democratic supporters will be ashamed of their newly elected president as they start to cut every conceivable social program.
The moment that a Democrat is elected as president, the markets will crumble even more then they are doing now. Because it will be impossible to introduce any increase in social spending.
The Federal Reserve chairman may allow universal healthcare because it will actually be a handout to business. Corporations will walk away from healthcare and stick the taxpayer with all the healthcare commitments.
If I were a Democrat, and realizing the crisis within the financial system, I would walk away from this election and let the Republicans fall on their swords. If not, the Democratic Party will always be known as the Party who raised taxes in order to fund social programs and thus put the country into a deeper recession then what was projected.
Calm
oZer @ 26:
I thought maybe that he was avoiding the crassness of saying “mouth”.
I’ll let you in on a little secret: I kind of like reading Brooks’ columns.
Eek…
How can someone who seems so smart be so dumb? Okay. Okay. Nevermind, I got my answer. It was in the kool-aid.
