This is why we took the 2010 election with new blood. David Brooks, every liberal’s media darling, spews.

“But we can have no confidence that the Republicans will seize this opportunity. That’s because the Republican Party may no longer be a normal party. Over the past few years, it has been infected by a faction that is more of a psychological protest than a practical, governing alternative.

The members of this movement do not accept the logic of compromise, no matter how sweet the terms. If you ask them to raise taxes by an inch in order to cut government by a foot, they will say no. If you ask them to raise taxes by an inch to cut government by a yard, they will still say no.

The members of this movement do not accept the legitimacy of scholars and intellectual authorities. A thousand impartial experts may tell them that a default on the debt would have calamitous effects, far worse than raising tax revenues a bit. But the members of this movement refuse to believe it.

The members of this movement have no sense of moral decency. A nation makes a sacred pledge to pay the money back when it borrows money. But the members of this movement talk blandly of default and are willing to stain their nation’s honor.”

Close your eyes and you can see nothing different in in Brook’s words or that of leftwing diva Rachel Maddow. We’ll hear more of this squealing from RINOs over the coming months as we get closer to making this a Tea Party Nation. It was HIS version of Republican that got us in to this mess in the first place. But enough of this, it’s hardly worth more comment. Brooks is a media bitch and writes not from any core beliefs but from his desire to get his face on liberal media TV.

We’re winning Mr. Brooks, enjoy your exile.

UPDATE: More from Ed Morrissey.
