MTP: David Brooks “Let’s Have War Games” As A Test For The Presidency.


Crooks and Liars:


BROOKS: Can you imagine doing that, leading that life? No normal person would live that way. And no normal person would emerge normally after that, giving the same speech eight times a day for 15 months? It destroys you, and it makes you less attractive and that’s even without the negative ads.
RUSSERT: Is it a fair test to determine who would be the best president?
BROOKS: I don’t think so. You know, watching the debate, the whole furor over the ABC debate, what strikes me is we should actually test candidates by how they’re going to act as President. We should have war games. Put them in a room with their advisers, give them a circumstance and see how they react to decisions and uncertainty. The debate is a totally artificial way to judge who is going to be a good president or not.
The more that Brooks talks, the more that he sounds like a nimrod. Brooks' brain was abducted by aliens. I don't take anything that the out-to-lunch-at-times talking head with a grain of salt.

Now that is interesting coming from a man who never served in the Military. Why to all the cowards like to talk about Military yet their afraid to join. Tweety would pee in his pants if they told him to pick up a gun. Brooks would cry like a little girl and ask for his Mother.
