Sometimes David Brooks says things that are true or correct. However, this does not occur in the above clip from Meet the Press, a popular television fiasco. Not even once! Can we divide David Brooks' clump of TV words into complete sentences and explain why each of them is wrong? We can.

&quot;Well, clearly the problem with the island was the complete rebellion against all of society&#039;s structures. When laborers get too much power, they resist doing labor. Lil Buddy rejected his prior position in the hierarchy of the maritime system -- constantly ignoring the Skipper -- and rejected the capitalist system -- by ignoring the Howells, and no longer took on his laborer duties, so of course no boats could be fixed. We see this very breakdown in our society, when we subsidize the poor.&quot;

Thanks to should-be-war-criminal Donald Rumsfeld and his idiot W&#039;s &quot;Old Europe&quot; snarks after France (rightly) questioned that whole &quot;we found weapons of mass destruction&quot; assertion, I realize that it&#039;s <i>de rigueur</i> to insult the French at every opportunity, but &quot;a failed state?&quot; Really? At this point, I think most elementary school kids have a better handle on world politics than Brooks.
I much preferred Homicide: Life on The Streets.
A failed state of mind.

David Brooks would get that shockingly wrong too.

It&#039;s gotta be either Kirby Delauter or Hitler, right?
David and Bill 180
Kim Jong Un, Deux, et Trois agree.

&ldquo;The central anti-poverty program is law and order.&rdquo;
Brooks wants to see the trains run on time also, too.
<i>Host Chuck Todd</i>
Does. Not. Compute.
He just says words, man. They don&#039;t have to mean anything.
&quot;The central anti-poverty program is law and order&quot;
Well, that show and it&#039;s spin-offs has given jobs to a whole lot of actors. Ka-chung chung.
Lindsay had the vapors and McCain wanted to say &quot;bomb France&quot; but even NBC thought better of that.

I don&#039;t know how Brooks can speak so normally, breathing the thin rarefied air of entitlement as he does. Guess you get used to it.
hey Bobo, you also can&#039;t get rich if you&#039;re afraid of getting shot by out of control cops every day
