Priceless image making
Sun Jan 18, 7:00 PM ET
BY JOHN LEO

<snip> (areas John Leo hits are "going to the moon and Mars"

"semidisguised amnesty for illegal aliens"

"Limited government and balanced budgets"

"Reagan proved that deficits don't matter," Cheney said, according to O'Neill. "We won the midterms. This is our due."

"affirmative action...Bush made little effort beyond suggesting a vaguely less offensive plan for the court to endorse."

"Bush backed away from the committee report, so the distortions of Title IX apparently are now permanent." plus these paragraphs)<snip>

"He can't put much effort into pushing vouchers because suburbanites might think he is out to destroy the public schools. He can't get rid of bilingualism, a proven disaster for children and a long-term boondoggle, because it might appear to be anti-immigrant or anti-Latino.

The most important cultural frontier is the courts. This is where dubious programs that command no majority support are rescued by judges willing to stretch the law on behalf of the cultural left. Bush has offered no real resistance to the Democrats' efforts to filibuster away many of his judicial nominees."

1. Seems the Luster is wearing off
If now we could only frame the election debate to a common bond of Dis-trust for these goons we would be getting some where

2. Of all the "serious" (ack) RW pundits...
(those like Safire or George Will, not the Coulters or O'Reillys of the world), John Leo is easily the most idiotic. No matter how much David Brooks tries to take the title from him.
