Did CNN’s Jake Tapper break the scoop that comedian and actor Albert Brooks is Obama’s new adviser on Syria?
Wow. RT @jaketapper: Wise man/futurist @AlbertBrooks pitched this idea last Friday…hmmmm…. > http://t.co/5ts16lcCCf…

What was so spooky, yet wonky? Oh, just a little eerie prescience by Brooks:
Putin follows me RT @jaketapper: Wise man/futurist @AlbertBrooks pitched this idea last Friday…hmmmm…. > http://t.co/cvVR4fmJyh…

Heh.
I believe I tweeted this idea last Friday. http://t.co/AAWJAvtz5h

Indeed, he did:
Russia and the U.S. could unite for one week, go into Syria, remove the chemicals, and let them continue fighting.

Oh my. As Twitchy reported, David Axelrod credited Obama’s “credible,” (yet unbelievably small) threat for forcing Bashar al-Assad to consider giving up his chemical weapons to Vladimir Putin. Well, Twitter now knows that it was the foreign policy expertise of … Albert Brooks? Hey, at least it wasn’t fellow comedian Richard Lewis. All he has is: Because, Bush!
Dave Rubin attempts to steal Brooks’ thunder:
@AlbertBrooks @jaketapper I tweeted it last Wednesday! https://t.co/dJwKiUEwkD
— Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) September 9, 2013
Yeah, no, Rubin:
How about we tell Assad he now has two weeks to give up his chemical weapons or we attack? Too rational, I guess?
— Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) September 5, 2013
You clearly aren’t transmitting to Vladimir like Mr. Brooks is!

.@ByronYork @jaketapper So Obama wants credit for Russia's proposal that John Kerry blurted out that was @AlbertBrooks idea. #NobelForBrooks

@AlbertBrooks @jaketapper this would make for a great season of #TheAmazingRace

And this Twitter user has an exit suggestion to fully credit the “Finding Nemo” co-star:
Since @AlbertBrooks first suggested the #Syrian WMD turn over, can we name the effort to secure them FINDING CHEMO? @JonahNRO @jaketapper

Perfect.
