"At this stage it’s probably not sensible to get too worked up about the details of any candidate’s plans. They are all wildly unaffordable. What matters is how a candidate signals priorities."
He has managed to get quoted by Paul Krugman, Jonathan Chait, Scott Lemieux ,Tom Levinson and, oh hell just ask google.
Lemieux asks of Brooks is a mark or a con artist (I read the headline "In Republican Punditry, It’s A Fine Line Between Mark and Con Artist" as "A Fine line between stupid and clever") but I think Brooks is neither. I go for performance artist. I mean he had to have some reason to turn the stupid up to eleven.
I think the sentences might achieve internet immortality. I am sure that this was Brooks's intention.
Of course, the precedeing sentence was not intended to be a factual statement.

Let's give the man credit. It was three sentences.
I concede that he wrote three sentences, but "They are all wildly unaffordable. " isn't vapid. It is substantive, to the point, and gives US voters all the information they need for them to conclude that they should not even consider voting for Republicans.
