Obama Has Eerie Power To Read, Cloud Republicans’ Minds


Here’s some year-old video clip of our old pal Tim Russert, before he died while actually working on this very program, Meet the Press, talking to known jackhole David Brooks about Barack Obama’s ability to read the minds of Republicans, and bend them to His will, so that’s why all the Republicans were so happy to vote for Obama. Also, an uncomfortable joke (?) about Jews, at the end, from Brooks. [Meet the Press]

    David “NotMel” Brooks probably ought to stay away from Jewish humour…

    To the neoconservative mind, a simple grasp of human nature looks like magic.

    You’ve all been deluded by the secret muslin story. Which is they They wanted.

    What you didn’t know, and a hot fast search on the youtubes would show you is that he’s a secret FREEMASON. Thus the mind clouding, a power well documented about the degree of masonicness reached by an illuminati anti-cristian like barrack is obfuscation and mind control over jackholes and hope-o-nauts.

    This video explains all:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqwOFuHGnW4&feature=related

    Get your truth on people!

    There’s a special on tinfoil, I have to go stock up now for the homeland observation invasion of the polaroid people.

    Who would want to read the typical Republican mind? There is nothing up there but a bunch of 14 year old boys in their underwear.

  6. Fishbulb says at 3:56 pm, December 19th, 2008

    Brooks is Jewish. First-ever Layne misfire?

  7. FreshCliches says at 3:57 pm, December 19th, 2008

    Clearly, Brooks has never been to any of Jackie Mason’s bacchanals.

  8. InKnockYouUs says at 3:58 pm, December 19th, 2008

    The way that Russert waves his hands around at the beginning seems to imply something salacious about those, um, emails, passing between Brooks and Obama.

    I posted here about a conservative Chanukah party at David Frum’s house- but Brooks was not invited. Brooks belonged to my synagogue for a year but I think he was one of only two openly Republican members(there may be others but they keep it quiet) so he left.

  10. That wasn’t an anti-Jewish joke but much more suprisingly, an anti-Republican one! He says that there aren’t many Republican Chanukah parties, and he’s probably right…

  11. Hedley Lamar says at 4:07 pm, December 19th, 2008

    Whatever happened to Russert? You hardly ever see him anymore.

  12. WagTehGod says at 4:11 pm, December 19th, 2008

    The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.

    Oh wait, this isn’t a Paultard board?

  13. LittlePig says at 4:13 pm, December 19th, 2008

    Please. The man has worked with Chicago pols. The Washington boys are strictly amateur.

  14. Ken Layne says at 4:20 pm, December 19th, 2008

    Fishbulb: Is the joke funny because he’s Jewish? I do not understand. He just said something that was supposed to be a witty response to whatever Russert mumbled, and everybody got uncomfortable.

  15. Deepthroat says at 4:29 pm, December 19th, 2008

    oh my god, David Brooks has a RAGING boner for Obama. Also, Wookies was dead on. Any sign of empathy or even just sympathy is difficult for the republican computing mechanism to process.

  16. NeoCons like a sensitive black man. Reminds them of their wife’s non-threatening hairdresser Lucius.

  17. maven: Bingo.

    This is why the Republican Jewish Coalition exists. There is no counterpart on the democrat side, it’s just “the rest of us”. It is a funny joke. no discomfort.

  18. Campell-on-CNN says at 4:49 pm, December 19th, 2008

    Ken Layne: Of course; because Jews and Jewishness are inherently funny. Except not me. But hey, recent convert? Give it some time.

    Hugs n’ kisses.

  19. What I think is so awesome is that Brooks likes negroes.

  20. Campell-on-CNN: Tim Watley anyone? Let’s take a trip down Seinfeld memory lane…

    Jerry: What’s up?

    Tim: I’ll tell you what’s up. I’m a Jew.

    Jerry: Excuse me?

    Tim: I’m a Jew. I finished converting two days ago.

    Jerry: Well… (Thinking of something to say) Welcome aboard.

    Tim: Thanks.

    George: Hey, were you just at the health club?

    Tim: Oh, well, I didn’t do much. I just sat in the sauna. You know, it was more like a Jewish workout. I’ll see ya. (Jerry and George give confused looks.)…

    Tim: All right, it is cavity time. Ah, here we go. Which reminds me, did you here the one about the rabbi and the farmer’s daughter? Huh?

    Jerry: Hey.

    Tim: Those aren’t matzah balls.

    Jerry: Tim, do you think you should be making jokes like that?

    Tim: Why not? I’m Jewish, remember?

    Jerry: I know, but…

    Tim: Jerry, it’s our sense of humor that sustained us as a people for 3,000 years.

    Jerry: 5,000.

    Tim: 5,000, even better. Okay, Chrissie. Give me a schtickle of flouride….
