David Brooks writing, speaking or even thinking about Barack Obama seems vaguely libidinous. But that puts him in good company at the NYTimes. On the Imus program a few days ago, Imus played a video of Obama telling a not very funny story at some dull function. Nobody but Tom Friedman thought it was funny. But Tom Friedman began to laugh with such hysteria that he sounded just like a laughing hyena. As Imus pointed out, Friedman’s need to suck up to Obama was so overwhelming that Friedman was willing to bust a gut laughing at what Imus desribed as a weak joke barely worthy of a smile. So Obama worship is contagious at the Times. David Brooks was coopted a long time ago. For Brooks, being invited to the Charlie Rose Show and to sit with left wing colleagues Friedman and Cohen is worth selling his soul for. And that is exactly what David Brooks did.

A headshot is not evidence of this. Follow the belly.

I’m amazed at all the people who refer to Obama as hightly intelligent or as an intellectual. What are they basing this on?

“His perfectly creased pant,” apparently. Although some are equally impressed by his articulate teleprompter.

Here Rush Limbaugh has lost 40 pounds and his #1 fan didn’t even notice. Now if Rush has a Crease (that is what they call it now?) in his pants I do not know. He is always sitting down on the DittoCam

David Brooks: get a room. Chris Mathews and Obama will be up shortly or you can call Dial A Man.

AoSHQ hit upon a simple and elegant solution. A few regular commenters were secretly “deputized” to edit posts from trolls. Instead of tiresome leftist talking points, troll posts were altered to, for example, describe their love of wattles on mature overweight women.

Brilliant!! OFS!!!

And I thought Hugh Hewitt’s man-crush on Mitt Romney was unseemly.

Garth Algar: Uhm, Wayne? What do you do if every time you see this one incredible woman, you think you’re gonna hurl?
Wayne Campbell: I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she’s yours. But if you spew and she bolts, then it was never meant to be.
