Know Your Enemy #56

"As for Brooksy, in the manner of Mel Gibson saying he would like his Frank Rich's intestines on a stick, I can think of nothing better than his severed head on a pike stuck on top of the Eiffel Tower. Hopefully many birds will feast on it, though they may be disappointed by the unusual deficiency of grey matter."

He Who Cannot Be Named - someone who seems to live by Lawrence's dictum (see above) - takes, ahem, issue with "speccy twatbox" David Brooks and his response to the death of Saul Bellow printed in the New York Times.

In his piece Brooks smugly asserts America's dominance over a Europe he sees as culturally moribund. Americans really do do sweeping and profoundly ignorant generalisations better than anyone else, don't they?
