Love him or hate him - and I do both all the time - he's usually worth reading:
I certainly agree about "compassionate conservatism." I came in for
some obloquy on this very blog a few years ago for calling it "turkey
poop," but in retrospect I think I was too kind. At least one of its
aspects — the determination to show kindness to poor people by making
it easier for them to buy houses, by chucking sane credit standards out
the window — contributed mightily to our current economic mess. And
there are certainly people in the GOP who think our error has been that
we weren't "compassionate" enough. In fact that is probably
George W. Bush's thinking, and John McCain's too. I'd like to see the
GOP get its green-eyeshade image back; but alas, green eyeshades in the
kind of deep recession we are entering are snowflakes in hell,
politically. We must hunker down and look to the future.
Pretty honest assessment. He only likes Sarah Palin for Lowry-esque reasons. She gives his tweed trousers starbursts. I wonder how much of Palin's male support never got past her ass.
