NYTimes columnist David BrooksI love David Brooks! I have no time for Chris Matthews, but this morning both men are in the same sexual-politics dungeon.

Neither guy believes that women have any place in American politics, based on their vocabularies. If I were a boycotting woman, I would shut them both out of my ears.

Unfortuantely, Brooks makes too much sense and must be spared. For a moderate Democrat, these words may seem contradictory, but yes — I listen to Brooks, not Matthews.

Hearing and reading these guys, only one pronoun exists in their vocabs: and it is ‘he’. The word ‘she’ doesn’t stack up in their vision of American politics, based on their own words.

The truth hurts, but I’m facing it. 50 years after women marched all over America, I read in today’s David Brooks NYTimes column ‘The Perot Option’:

There is a specter haunting America: the specter of a saner, updated version of Ross Perot. He is lurking out there, ready to ride the free-floating anger and distrust of Washington. He is out there now in one of his homes or private jets, getting madder by the day. He is large of ego, full of money and cranky in mien.

When he enters the arena, he’ll say that Washingtonians, all of them, are a bunch of failures. Over the past five years, Washington has tried to reform Social Security, immigration, health care and energy policy. All of these efforts have either failed or are close to failure — thousands of people working millions of hours and in all likelihood producing nothing.

He’ll point out that Washingtonians, all of them, breed selfishness. Republicans refuse to accept tax increases. Democrats reject spending cuts. They’ve put the country on a highway to a fiscal crisis, and there are no exit ramps.

When he comes, he’ll present himself warts and all. Yes, I’m an obnoxious S.O.B., he’ll say. But you need me right now. Yes, I am a blank slate, but people are so desperate that they’re voting for blank slates. When he comes — this billionaire Simon Cowell, this political Bobby Knight — he will change the political landscape, at least for a time.

I simply cannot imagine that in 2010, I am hearing and listening to this crap from any top pundit on TV and reading it in the NYTimes. These are fighting words, coming from a woman who likes men.
