Brooks Renounces Enlightenment, Abandons Skepticism

"If your mother tells you she loves you, check it out."

That's a journalistic chestnut. Brooks needs to be reminded of it in light of today's column, in which he hails the return of "Moderate Mitt." How gullible can he be?

How does Brooks know that Moderate Mitt, and not Severely Conservative Mitt or 47 Percent Mitt or Let 'Em Die in the ER Mitt is the real Romney? Brooks lacks even the patina of journalistic skepticism.

What an abdication.
