Every now and then David Brooks reminds us

what a useless conservative prig he is.
His reluctance to completely blame Trump and try for "Both Sides" BS on Pelosi was pathetic.

Those who watch tonight's PBS News Hour know what I mean.

He is wish washy at best but most of the time he’s quite sanctimonious and indeed gag worthy.

I was glad to see Shields stepping up and correcting Brooks' both sides idiocy.

Brooks is a tool but he's usually a reliable anti-Dotard conservative. He seemed to be trying to normalize the psychopath tonight.
