Everything he has opined about Iraq and the war has been wrong. Why does this stenographer for the Bush administration still get speaking gigs?

Although I tend to disagree with most of what he says, he did hit it on the nail in his op-ed piece on the Gonzalez resignation.

David Brooks is a professional bullsh*tter. He can certainly turn a phrase, but all too often in the wrong direction.
