Conscience of a Conservative


Wow. That was the reaction I had to John Batchelor's piece "Attack of the Zombie Republicans" in the Daily Beast. Wow. Surprising because Batchelor is a lifelong conservative Republican and a fixture of right-wing rage radio. His descriptions of such frothers as Limpballs, Gingrich, Cantor, et al, is positively Wolcottian.

If more conservatives (like Dick Lugar, see below) and John Batchelor speak the truth - not what the "mean, thick, and angry" base wants to hear - the Rethugs might not become the 21st Century's version of the Greenback Party.
