Today's Moment of "Durrr!"

One more tidbit (Before we go away & watch telebision.) scoured from the PuffHo, which transcriptbed* it & others from a TIME interview.

Don't think of clicking! It's not merely a typed interaction w/ currently book-pimping Brooks (Expect to see the 21st century inheritor of the throne of Broder spreading himself thickly over the media universe in coming days.) but a moving picture & sound recording of him. No good could possibly come of it.

[But wait! Closer examination reveals embeddability. Suffer, then, as we have:
Though our suffering does not include watching that. — M.B.] We stayed w/ the text, which had this added value (And which we'd originally intended to post w/o video or anything but a portion of the first paragraph. Always complicating things.):
Haley Barbour: It's not included in the video, but the Reliable Source quotes Brooks as saying that Barbour looked "'too much like the guy Michael Moore would cast' as a Southern governor." Uhm ... not to nitpick, but Haley Barbour isn't just someone Michael Moore would cast as a Southern governor, that's literally what Haley Barbour is.

[...]

Brooks' new book, The Social Animal, is on the shelves now, along with his bracing anthropological studies of people who like granite countertops and artisanal cheese.

*There's a brain-freeze for you. We will not again mock Sarah Palin for her command of English. (Pretty much losing it here, but at least we're documenting it. And we did catch it. Next time, well, who knows?)
