Brooks Disses Obama

David Brooks of The New York Times does a fine, funny take on Barack Hussein Obama, and the people who have been ga-ga over him. He observes that some devotees are starting to get over their high and experience hangovers. He calls this phenomenon Obama Comedown Syndrome and calls B.O. himself the Hope Pope. However, the best part of Brooks' article deals with the Clinton campaign:

Patients in the grip of O.C.S. rarely express doubts at first, but in a classic case of transference, many experience slivers of sympathy for Hillary Clinton. They see her campaign morosely traipsing from one depressed industrial area to another — The Sitting Shiva for America Tour. They see that her entire political strategy consists of waiting for primary states as boring as she is.

They feel for her. They feel guilty because the entire commentariat now treats her like Richard Nixon. Are liberal elites rationalizing their own betrayal of her? Is Hillary just another fading First Wife thrown away for the first available Trophy Messiah?

I love the lines, "Is Hillary just another fading First Wife thrown away for the first available Trophy Messiah?" and "her entire political strategy consists of waiting for primary states as boring as she is." When Brooks is on his game, as he is here, only Mark Steyn can equal him.
