Saving the GOP’s Sinking Ship
Perhaps it’s a symptom of encroaching desperation that the conservative press has begun fingering traitors. Ross Douthat has a post addressed to those conservatives—inlcuding the crowd over at the National Review—who “regard every right-of-center writer … who's publicly hurled brickbats at the McCain campaign as a quisling and a coward, a stooge for liberalism and a rat fleeing a fast-sinking ship.” If he were them, Douthat says, “I’d be devoting a little less time to ritual denunciations of heretics and RINOs, and at least a little more time to figuring out how to build the sort of ship that will make the rats of the DC/NY corridor want to scramble back on board, however much it makes you sick to have them back.”
