At 69, the HildeBeast would be pretty harsh to look at...

In reality David Brooks has to be the most overrated, overhyped pseudointellectual ever...next to Tom Friedman and Paul Krugman of course

Really? No way in Hades does the PIAPS have a shot....

No, David, not after the real truth comes seeping out of Benghazi. Madam Secretary's goose will be cooked.

I did not read the article. Did Brooks mention that Hillary is the most humiliated woman in the world?

Did he mention that there are reports out this morning from a new book that further humiliation is in the offing in the form of a divorce request from the "Horn Dog" back in 1990?

Did Brooks mention that the second most humiliated woman in the world, Humma Weiner, works for Hillary?

Just wondering if David did his work thoroughly.

Democrats don't have much of anyone up and coming. Both Clintons, Pelosi, Reid (guffaw!) Biden? They have some real fossils.

It will be Hillary and a Hispanic - and that will be a very strong ticket -

Rather sad commentary for the Democrats ... is that the best they have?

I had to stop reading at this point:

"Appearing on Alec Baldwin’s WNYC “Here’s The Thing” podcast,..."

ROFL

Not going to happen....she is some sight these days, imagine her at 69!!!! This Benghazi attack and her involvement is not going away either!

Okay, but tell her please go back to the page boy!

The democrats could forgive her incompetence if she were not so old and ugly-looking.

I am not mocking her. She does not have to be ugly. She runs around with straggly hair and no makeup. If you are in a senior government position, you have to try to look your best at all times. If you don't care about yourself, you give off the vibe that you don't care about much else.

This is not sexist. Guys are judged harshly as well. Think of all of the people who say that Chris Christie is off-putting because he does not take care of his body.

Hillary was globetrotting around the world lining up chefs for a cookoff while terrorists in the Middle East were fomenting their 9/11 attack in Benghazi. I think she jumped the shark when it comes to her higher office aspirations.

There's only one Democrat I have any time for and that's Cory Booker. But I fear that by the time the party solons get to him, he will be just another dem robot.

She's a wreak. Which, maybe, is why our foreign policy is a wreak. Even Barry didn't want her in Charlotte. She would have tarnished Bubba's charisma.

Comments about Hillary's looks are not helpful. Let's not forget about November. Brooks is a half-bright gadfly.

If she does, I hope she gets a new style advisor before then (esp. for that hideous hair!!!). Also, she will be pretty long in the tooth by 2016...I'm not feeling it. But whatever.

She DOES create a big draft behind herself, along with her flying monkeys, especially when she's riding her broom!

Fat chance .... after she gets the credit due for the Murder of our 4 Americans in LIBYA ........ Brooks wants full credit for being a jerk gone wild with no Breast to sell his product. I suggest Brooks apply for Big Birds job... Rino's have too many in their job market applying.

She will be damaged goods after this Libya boondoggle. Don't think there's much in store for her in the future.

Unless, of course, Obama gets reelected.

Oh Yeah!! Especially after what her role was in Bengazhi murders??? This woman should be hauled in front of the American people and made to explain how and why her INCOMPETENCE killed four Americans and why she was talking about a blooming VIDEO for 2 weeks after the assasinations.

How about DWS? Shes a proven liar, uglier than a mud fence, and maybe a little younger. Fabulous!

But Professor Brooks, what about...Whitewater, cattle future contracts, Vince Foster/Fort Marcy Park, Web Hubbell, Rose Law Firm basement shredding machine operations, Chinese Commie donations, missing White House silverware settings, Sandy Berger, Saul Alinsky, Huma Wiener/The Muslim Brotherhood, Republican FBI Files, Zippergate/Monica Lewinsky, tomatoes and shoes in Cairo, Libya, midnight talks with Eleanor Roosevelt, flying lamps, Travelgate, etc, etc, etc?

David Brooks is "stuck on stupid" in his thinking - always looking at the past, no fresh ideas, unable to visualize anything new. Ambitious DemocRATS will not stand aside for Hillary. Andrew Cuomo has been working on his resume for 20 years now. He'll soon find a way to marry that live-in blonde. Watch for the book, maybe something published with his father. Chuck Schumer loves a camera enough to run. But his wife makes Hillary look like a movie star, so she may drag (no pun intended) down his chances. What about Susan Rice? If she is a lesbian, that would be the perfect Dem candidate, covering all the bases: Black, female, gay.

If it weren't for the Daily Caller I would not have a clue or a care what David Brooks wrote or thought. If it were not for Newsbusters . . . I still do not care.

Way to go captain obvious!

Those trying to get the middle back will look toward somebody like Webb.
Andrew Cuomo has daddy issues that need attention.
Sibelius has tenticles everywhere.

So it won't be just Hillary.

See who gets Bill Daley to help.

hilary will do for women candidates running for president the same thing obama has done for the next black presidential candidate.

I think that the debacles in Libya, Egypt and Syria will forever sink Madam Hillary's Presidential aspirations!!!

I can't imagine how decrepit she'll look.

If her hair is any indication of her personal hygene habits I wouldn't want to be anywhere near her.

That hilarious. What's her slogan going to be? I was just trying to make the 1st black president look bad, I'll do better when I'm really in charge.

I dunno. If I was the RATS, I might be drafting her for 2012. You know, invoke the Lautenberg-for-Toricelli-because-he's-losing rule.

What. an. Idiot.
Ramona (the Pest)

By 2016 Hillary should just be getting out of jail for her role in Libya.

According to HillBuzz Conservative Politics, the entire attack was a plan by Obama to look tough on foreign policy. He was going to organize a possible "hostage" release using "The Blind Sheik " as a bargaining chip. Things blew up in his face when the "hostages" were killed instead.

I am totally tired of this David Brooks charlatan masking himself as a conservative.

If the NYT really wants to cut costs, kicking this idiot Brooks to the curb would be a good place to start.

Have you seen her lately? Not enough Botax can be projeced to help her.

Everyone go pull up the photo of Hillary standing in front of the 4 flag-draped caskets while she blamed a Utube video trailer. Hillary's career of shafting America is over.

She's a hag now and going downhill very fast...I suppose the wicked witch of the west could easily win the job...as a stand in on the Wizzard of Oz remake...

Watch out to be sure your broom isn't stolen!

The Obama administration lied and people died. Hillary was the SOS and will have to own it. No way she is viable for 2016.

Her looks do matter - either she looks like she just rolled out of bed or her make-up is spackled on making her look clownish. Four years from now I doubt it will have gotten better.

David Brooks is the white Obama.

Dems don't nominate losers. Only Reps do that. Reps usually run the guy who's turn it is, the guy that last the time before but came in second--McCain, Romney, Dole... Dems always want someone new. Hillary will be very old, tired news in 2016. If they didn't want her in 2008, they won't in 2016.

So what if they have a weak bench. Dems usually put up someone you didn't expect a few years earlier. Who in 2004 thought Obama would be the guy 4 years later?

Really? Benghazi aside - and that will not be put aside -- blecchhhh. Not gonna work. Her viable time ran out in 2008 when she could not beat a community organizer with no genuine credentials.

Speaking of Bens, everyone's probably fond of the image of Benjamin Franklin, but Ben Franklin in pearls? ...drooling on Christina Aguilera?

Yikes.

She is toast.

She is not half as good as N∅bama at reading prepared speaches.

But if she has to speak without a teleprompter, everyone is quickly going to remember that the only reason she ever got elected to anything is because she was Slick Willie's wife.

Besides, I am pretty sure that Andrew Cuomo is not going to stand by and watch his chance dissapear for ''the good of the party''...

Benghazi, in all liklihood, cooked Hildabeast's goose. Or, is it a vulture?

Either way, at the rate she is sliding downhill appearance wise, she'll make Candy Crowley look like a runway model.

Why do virtually all liberals have such a dominate Uuuggly gene? They all need Burkhas to cover up that "truck look".

Only in Alec Baldwin's fevered brain is David Brooks a conservative. Should Romney win this year the only person the Democrats will consider in 2016 will be Barack Obama. It will be like Holyfield/Tyson all over again.

Her Heinous wouldn't be any improvement over Mr. Potato Head. Both are inveterate Alinskyites, committed leftists without the least understanding of economic or strategic matters. Instead of healthy blood, a substance like subversion flows in their veins.

You should read Christopher Hitchens's No One Left to Lie To, especially the chapter entitled "The Shadow of the Con Man (Rodham's Last Hurrah.)" I'll let Hitch speak for himself.

"Mrs. Clinton has the most unappetizing combination of qualities to be met in many days' march: she is a tyrant and a bully when she can dare to be, and an ingratiating populist when that will serve. She will sometimes appear in the guise of a "strong woman" and sometimes in the softer garb of a winsome and vulnerable female. She is entirely un-self-critical and quite devoid of reflective capacity, and has never found that any of her numerous misfortunes or embarrassments are her own fault, because the fault invariably lies with others. And, spesking of where things lie, she can in a close contest keep up with her husband for mendacity. Like him, she is not just a liar but a lie; a phoney construct of shreds and patches and hysterical self-pitying, demagogic improvisations."

Quite so.

She looks awfully tired. Of course, might undergo a major makeover. Plastic surgery, weight loss, public speaking lessons. Feinstein might be a more likely candidate.

So Hillary gets drafted and all the votes on the ballots that would go to obit, go to Hillary? Even though I don't want either to win (actually want to see a serious knockout punch delivered to both), I'd still like to see that fight.

Sorry, I just read the headline. Hillary is toast though.

NFW.

It would have made more sense had she not worked for Obama and been attached to his failures. In fact, she is the cause of some of them. Furthermore, her lack of a real marriage
won't help her.

Hopefully the true story of the Libyan embassy murders will put a halt to her career.

When her culpability is fully disclosed She will be carrying a big albatross around her neck the rest of her life.
