Op-Ed Columnist David Brooks lets you “Feel the Love” from the Democratic Candidate debate. The link to the entire column is included below but this portion of the parody was especially delicious.
WILLIAMS: Now we turn to our lightning round in which each of the candidates will have 3.75 seconds to spout pandering clichés that demonstrate how the campaigning process has reduced their minds to pabulum. Senator Clinton, which issue would you like to obfuscate next?
CLINTON:
Obfuscate? Son, let me tell you the truth, because you can’t handle the truth. We live in a world with enemies. We fight elections where people play rough. Who’s going to do it? These two pretty boys? The left-wing nutjobs in our party who sit around watching Bill Maher?Trackposted to Outside the Beltway, Stop the ACLU, Perri Nelson's Website, The Virtuous Republic, The Midnight Sun, The Random Yak, 123beta, Adam's Blog, , Right Truth, The Populist, Grizzly Groundswell, Webloggin, Stuck On Stupid, Wake Up America, Leaning Straight Up, The Bullwinkle Blog, The Amboy Times, Phastidio.net, Big Dog's Weblog, Pursuing Holiness, Adeline and Hazel, Nuke's, third world county, The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns, The World According to Carl, Pirate's Cove, The Pink Flamingo, Wolf Pangloss, and Church and State, thanks to Linkfest Haven Deluxe.
I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, leads to victory. Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about in Santa Monica dinner parties, you want me at that podium. You need me at that podium. And I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to the self-righteous liberals who rise and sleep under the blanket of the very victory I provide! I wish you’d just said thanks and went on your way. In any case, I don’t give a damn what answers you think you’re entitled to!
David Brooks is too intelligent to have unintentionally used the script from “A Few Good MEN" for this piece.
