This video is amazing on many levels. Brooks analysis of politicians as broken, emotionally needy people is the closest we’ll get to see a conservative columnist having a “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore” Network moment. The shocker is that he has personal story to further drive the point home:
BROOKS: You know, all three of us spend a lot of time covering politicians and I don’t know about you guys, but in my view, they’re all emotional freaks of one sort or another. They’re guaranteed to invade your personal space, touch you. I sat next to a Republican senator once at dinner and he had his hand on my inner thigh the whole time. I was like, ehh, get me out of here.
