BROOKS TAKES ON FATS LIMBAUGH

Pigboy has been busy talking himself into a smaller corner and some people are noticing. On Meet the Press, 8/9/09, David Brooks had a spontaneous reaction to one of Fats' pieces of bile:

(Videotape, Thursday)

MR. RUSH LIMBAUGH: There are far more similarities between Nancy Pelosi and Adolph Hitler than between these people showing up at town halls to protest a Hitler-like policy.

(End videotape)

MR. GREGORY: White House advisers say the tactics will backfire against the GOP. But can the president retake center stage of this debate?

And we're joined now by Jon Meacham of Newsweek magazine, CNBC's Erin Burnett and David Brooks of The New York Times. Welcome to all of you.

So, David, that is the question. What's going on here and how does the president retake center stage?

MR. DAVID BROOKS: I hadn't seen the Rush Limbaugh thing. That is insane. What he's saying is insane.

Crooks & Liars and Media Matters each have the video clip.
