A Conservative's Post-Mortem


House Republicans are "cowards, sycophants, and snobs" and the wingnut media are "barkers, hookers, establishmentarian jesters, cultists, and...thatch-headed whiners." These assessments would be expected coming from, say, us. But coming from right-wing hate radio veteran John Batchelor, they're a sign that at least some on the right have the capacity for critical thinking. A longer snippet of Batchelor's post-mortem of the Rethug Party is carried by James Wolcott. Sometimes the truth hurts, Rethugs.
