To answer James Fallows, I don’t think that there are enough Republicans who care about actually governing to fit on the head of a pin.
And I don’t think that there are too many more Republicans who are capable of computing the idea that something that makes them feel good right now (Fox News, Hate Radio) makes it harder for their party to win national elections.
You know, we talk a lot in this country about this person “hitting the crack pipe” and that person being “high on crack.” We don’t talk about what happens to your brain when you smoke that shit every few hours.
Crack cocaine will turn you into a broke, homeless prostitute. Fox News will make you 18-points less likely to know that the moon isn’t made out of Ranch Dressing. Either way, your MRI is going to look like cartoon cheese.
So, first of all, just because a couple of conservative political consultants happen to notice that the old Nuremberg Rally footage on the History Channel is starting to look appealing that doesn’t mean that you can stop the train now that everyone has already embarked and the festivities have begun. These people have invested in gold, my friend. There may still be a port
side suite available on the National Review’s Carnival cruise boat (complete with hot stone massage courtesy of Alan Keyes) but no one is going to dim the lights on the right-wing media carnival.
For a deprived conservative mind, having your news delivered by Steve Doocy is like having six orgasms followed by a chocolate sundae.
The pusher man knows, his subjects will pay any price to get more.
