Peggy Noonan wins the prize for the worst editorial in support of a candidate ever composed.
It’s really bad and you really must read it all. Here’s the money graf:
Mr. Santorum has been at odds with the modernist impulse, or liberalism, or whatever it now and fairly should be called. Most of his own impulses–protect the unprotected, help the helpless, respect the common man–have not been conservative in the way conservative is roughly understood, or portrayed, in the national imagination. If this were the JFK era, his politics would not be called “right wing” but “progressive.” He is, at heart, a Catholic social reformer. Bobby Kennedy would have loved him.
Don’t get upset, this is historically funny.
