Given enough time, a room full of monkeys with typewriters might actually bang out Hamlet

But would a room full of David Brookses ever be able to create a non-treacly, non-obsequious essay about Barack Obama? One is overwhelmed by a sense of the statistical remoteness of the event. It is simply a given: the columnist is irretrievably committed to promoting the alleged wisdom and intellectual superiority of our current president.

Smitty has had enough of Mr. Brooks vainly trying to nudge that slinky up the staircase, and smites him hip and thigh in this vigorous critique.

  1. A room full of David Brookses would result in the walls, ceiling, and floor covered in poo, no matter how large the space.

  3. Maybe we'll get lucky and he'd slit his throat on a razor-sharp pants crease...
