Jon Chait lays out why. But Brooks has been doing this schtick for years. He gives a calm, tweed-ensconced take on why Dubya was really the smart one to invade Iraq or why Sarah Palin isn't really that dumb or why it's Obama that's the real partisan absolutist, not Mitch McConnell.
Brooks is the perfect distillation of the old GOP: He's an over-educated white guy who starts from a premise and then talks himself into taking a stupid position, because that's what his job is.
