Dreams...

David Brooks' column in the NYT begins today:

I have dreams. I may seem like a boring pundit whose most exotic fantasies involve G.A.O. reports, but deep down, I have dreams. And right now I’m dreaming of the successful presidency this country needs. I’m dreaming of an administration led by Barack Obama, but which stretches beyond the normal Democratic base. It makes time for moderate voters, suburban voters, rural voters and even people who voted for the other guy.

[I think he'll come closer to his dream than even he imagines, honestly.]

The top reader-recommended comment:

I have a dream where neocon propagandists admit when they're wrong and assume some responsibility for the past eight years of arrogance and neglect.

— Andrew Hyra, Los Angeles

[It is rare that I have cackled this loudly at the office. Excellently snarked, sir!]

I have a dream where Dick Cheney does a perp walk with a raincoat over his head.

Yeah, it'd be easier to believe Brooks if he hadn't turned into such a passive-aggressive weenie lately.
