- First: The G.O.P.’s Dukakis Problem
April 7, 2011 – I have a lot of disdain for political horserace coverage, as some of you know. But some of it certainly is relevant, and occasionally informative. This piece is just really interesting, and damn well-written. My favorite quote, which I think would be funny, even if I didn’t agree with it, is this:
“Barbour is the comic embodiment of his party’s most negative stereotypes. A Barbour nomination would be the rough equivalent of the Democrats’ nominating Howard Dean, if Dean also happened to be a draft-dodging transsexual owner of a vegan food co-op.”
