David Brooks, who does a column for the New York Times, is the Conservative that Liberals most often cite when they want to prove they're fair-minded enough to not write off everything any Conservative says, just because he's across the aisle. I'm not sure who the Liberal is that Conservatives would cite as fair-minded. Some, of course, would argue it's an oxymoron.
Brooks, of course, occasionally inflames The Left with things he writes but they seem to be cheering this column, which is about the nasty (and lucrative) ways The Right has co-mingled lobbying and governing. Worth a read.
