LIFE OF THE PARTY RETURNING AT LAST - New York Post by Jonah Goldberg
...The press and Hollywood have spent the last three years making it sound like people become Republicans so they can flood New Orleans, ruin the economy, torture Muslims, listen to everyone's phone calls, and make a ton from selling papier maché bulletproof vests to the troops.
To cap it off, John McCain, renowned for driving the GOP base batty by bebopping and scatting all over his own party in order (according to his conservative detractors) to win praise from The New York Times, actually won the nomination.
In short, you don't have to be a political scientist to understand why Republican self-identification has been at a 16-year low or why even many of the GOP faithful were planning on putting out their "Gone fishing" signs this November.
Jonah, as usual, hits it right on the head. And mercifully, he does so quickly. I love Jonah Goldberg's writing but I've only got so many hours in the day :)
