David Brooks: Palin a "fatal cancer" to GOP

Huffington Post has some great quotes from conservative NY Times columnist David Brooks about Sarah Palin. Most interesting to me, Brooks compares Palin's anti-intellectual tendencies to those of George Bush, noting that Palin not only to scorns liberal ideas but scorns ideas entirely. This is a powerful observation, especially coming from a respected conservative, about someone who is a McCain victory away from being Vice President.

In the same interview, Brooks refers to Obama as a mediocre senator but heaps praise upon him for his great intellect and for his keen social perception skills. Fascinating...
