I JUST NOTICED ROBERT REICH HAS LONG ATTACKED BROOKS

This is really a pig's breakfast on a pig's breakfast!

Pigs have traditionally been slopped with other farm animals' dung. This is just good economics, good environmentalism, and good farming.

In Brooks' and Reich's case, it is what is called good journalism here.

RE DK CURRENT POST LEONHARDT KINSLEY GAFFE PUNDIT GAFFE

"It used to be, there was truth and there was falsehood. Now there is spin and there are gaffes. Spin is often thought to be synonymous with falsehood or lying, but more accurately it is indifference to the truth. A politician engaged in spin is saying what he or she wishes were true, and sometimes, by coincidence, it is. Meanwhile, a gaffe, is when a politician tells the truth — or more precisely, when he or she accidentally reveals something truthful about what is going on in his or her head. A gaffe is what happens when the spin breaks down." Kinsley Gaffe.

The Boomerbuster Butt is related to the Pundit Confession. Both are hard to ever recover from. Leonhardt has already committed the Pundit Confession, as I have pointed out here.

Brooks, for example, a sort of greased pig at the county fair, never committed so elementary a blunder, as far as I know, but then I read him only intermittently.

By far the most common American politician faux pas is simply to make an utterly untrue statement, but one made not out of indifference to the truth at all, as described in the Kinsley Gaffe, but rather an even more elementary failing, a statement made not knowing what the truth would be if it bit the politician in the butt...

The politician, himself, not merely his statement, then becomes a Boomerbuster Butt. It is worse than a Kinsley Gaffe, from which the politician himself perhaps, with therapy, can recover.
