"Also on NRO, John Podhoretz recently saddened the gallery by announcing he was taking a leave of absence from the Corner to finish cutting and pasting--I mean, finish composing--his forthcoming book on Hillary Clinton, which will be conveniently stocked near the lawn care section.

Such a book will fill a needy niche. There aren't near enough hardbound fits of hysteria by conservatives over Hillary Clinton. Sure, there was the Barbara Olsen book, and Peggy Noonan's, and R. Emmett Tyrrell's, and Laura Ingraham's, and all those Dick Morris instabooks, and, what's this I spy on the horizon?--why yet another Hillary book heading our way by Podhoretz's platonic bunkmate at the Corner, Jonah Goldberg. beguilingly titled Liberal Fascism: The Totalitarian Temptation from Mussolini to Hillary Clinton.

Suffice it to say that the Nazis weren't simply generically bad, they were uniquely and monumentally evil, not just in their hearts but also in literally billions of intentional, well-planned, and bureaucratized decisions they made every day.

And yet, in polite and supposedly sophisticated circles in America today it is acceptable to say George Bush is akin to a Nazi and that America is becoming Nazi-like.
