Excellent article - and all true.

Mitt Romney had on stage at his last big Ohio rally none other than Elaine Chao - yes, she’s married to Mr. McConnell who is stuck in the Senate as our standard-bearer.

She was a pampered, spoiled brat as Labor Secretary. She did nothing according to principle but rather according to big-government, big-spending ideals.

What a joke. No, I’m not reading the rest.

Rove is busily taking in contributions to his super-PAC or whatever it is, and FOX / Hannity are still going to give him a platform from which to raise money and pretend to be a conservative WINNER.

[Irenic]

Please, please let us retire Rove and no more Bush family for a good long time. We need political entitlement reform. pfft!

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

After that abjectly humiliating Election Night meltdown of his, on coast-to-coast television: the only way I ever want to see Karl Rove burbling on TV again, re: grown-up politics, is if appropriately garbed in a cap-and-bells, with little jangly shoes.

Superb article, although I read Rubio as a Bush circle protege. Anyway, worth recycling an old tagline.

This RWR and GHWB personal relationship was also echoed with Eisenhower and Nixon. Not one in eight years did DDE and Mamie invite Dick and Pat to the White House for a private dinner. But GHWB did become emotional at the Reagan funeral. RWR’s biggest failures were GHWB and Sandra Day O’Connor.

The only possible way to save this country is to find out who makes up the cabal that forced Reagan to select Bush as his VP. Then destroy it.

I am afraid there will always be some Republican stupid enough to write this guy a $300 million check.

[TBP]

You underestimate the GOP’s virtually infinite capacity to learn the wrong lesson.

[Skepolitic]

Didn’t Karl Rove, Tom DeLay, and Jack Abramhof promise conservatives a permanent Republican majority if we’d just relax a few principles?

Compassionate Conservatism.
Ownership Society.
Big Government Conservatism.
Project for a New American Century.
No Child Left Behind.
Medicare Part D.
Faith-Based Initiatives (controlled and financed by government).
Neo-conned.

[Art.] There was precious little rapport between the populist figures populating the Reagan circle and the Eastern establishment retinue of the son of the patrician Sen. Prescott Bush.

Correction here: Pressy Bush got his start as a shoe salesman in Ohio and got the idea to better himself by going East to attend Yale, where he diligently brown-nosed, facilitated, convenienced, and did much service for the rich snots in varsity sweaters. Then he parlayed old school ties into a U.S. Senate seat.

Sequaciousness was a hallmark of both Pressy and Poppy.

And snobbery.

BTTT!
