OP-ED: Thinking About Obama, By DAVID BROOKS, New York Times, October 17, 2008

Along with his psychobabble analysis?

It's just pathetic. Now we're subjected to insinuations that Obama is emotionally retarded because he doesn't share McCain's freak-out nature.

Maybe, Dave, he's just one helluva lot more self-aware than you. Because while he controls himself well for all sorts of logical reasons, your columns get more fear-filled and hyperbolic by the day as the election draws near.

Brooks will be the new Krugman, and it will be an equally pathetic descent unless he reins it in.

Update: Tom's moderated his tone on this one: Going too harsh on Brooks
