Thank you WSJ for the wonderful advice

I posted what follows in a discussion thread about the linked column.
I observed afterward that Gerstein worked for Lieberman's campaign as a strategist.


That's rich. First off, I would hardly look to the WSJ editorial staff for people who "have a finger on the pulse" of the American cultural tos and fros. There is a reason that the fringe right considers even the WSJ *news* division to have a liberal bias (all those pesky facts are pretty inconveniant to the cause), while holding up the editorial staff as reasonable, balanced, and insightful. They drank the same PNAC kool-aid.Secondly, imagine the trojan horse generosity of this thinly veiled 2nd ring of hell (around Wolfowitz, et. al.) offering their brilliant political insight to an organization whose demise they would greet with a glee usually reserved for, say, something like total elimination of the federal mimimum wage law, all OSHA enforcement, and all industrial environmental regs at the same time (considering that the former event would surely lead to all of the former, and then some).Yes, now that The Hammer has finally, in the court of public opinion, become the albatross around their necks that he should have been from the moment he ascended to the leadership of their party (and, yes, it is their party, don't pretend otherwise), they seek desperately to make the most prominent public face of the opposition someone who is just as divisive, and will drive away centrist (read: idiots who don't pay attention) in droves.The breathtaking element of this attempted stunt is that every lauditory syllable that they present about the junior senator from New York is true, and always has been, even when they have been part of the band of jackals who demonized her in the past. She has always been "pro-family". She has always championed initiatives to protect and nurture children. The trouble is, she provided the rabid, ranting right with things like the catch phrase "it takes a village", and they have successfully characterized that as a code for allowing the federal government into your household to dictate your child-rearing methods.That's the trouble with the lemmings that follow the flutes of the far right: they comprehend about as much discussion as can be fit on a bumper sticker, and they are almost that deep.
