A number of our readers reacted strongly to a satirical David Brooks’ column about Mitt Romney — the Republican candidate for President. Here is a sampling of Brooks’ work on Aug. 29.

“He (Romney) uttered his first words ‘I like to fire people’ at 14 months. He bought a mood ring but it remained permanently transparent. If elected he promises to bring all Americans together and make them feel inferior.” Some readers did not like Brook’s column or its style.
