		<description>You know, I recall that David Brooks himself couldn't stop raving about McCain's prolific "poverty tour" when it happened...  Errr, what a second, he didn't!  McCain, being the king of timing that he is, &lt;a href="http://www.salon.com/opinion/walsh/election_2008/2008/04/27/mccain_hagee/" rel="nofollow"&gt;did his poverty tour near the end of April&lt;/a&gt; -- in the midst of the hottest times during the Obama/Clinton primary battle.  Being a historically unprecedented contest, no wonder the press paid attention to it.  For Brooks' part in bringing media attention to McCain's fearless campaign, his first column during the week of McCain's "poverty tour" &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/18/opinion/18brooks.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;was all about Obama&lt;/a&gt;.  Gee, didn't Brooks just criticize the media's fascination with Obama?  And &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/22/opinion/22brooks.html?_r=1&#038;oref=slogin" rel="nofollow"&gt;his second column&lt;/a&gt; doesn't even mention McCain.  

What a dishonest [insert whatever insult you want here].</description>
