In his Alabama appearance for Roy Moore, Steve Bannon turned in an intellectually and morally putrid performance even by his standards.
There is a partisan case for voting for Moore, which is simply that Republicans cant afford to lose a Senate seat over the next three years and Moores failings must be ignored or rationalized away for the larger good of the party.
This isnt an elevated line of reasoning and is not obviously correct on its own terms. With Democrats throwing John Conyers and and Al Franken overboard, Senate Republicans would be welcoming into their ranks a potent symbol of sexual malfeasance to be used against them in the 2018 midterms.
Its a better argument, though, than the tawdry justifications offered up by Bannon, who parachuted into an already disreputable campaign and dragged it through the gutter.
Bannon seems to misunderstand the nature of the deplorables he seeks to lead. Deplorable is supposed to be an unfair, disparaging term for people who believe reasonable but politically incorrect things (immigration should be restricted, NFL players should stand during the national anthem, all lives matter, etc.). It shouldnt be a license for doing truly deplorable things.
At least some Democrats now want to jettison Bill Clinton and say they were wrong to defend him during his scandals. For his part, Bannon wants to pick up the ethics of the party of Clinton and transfer them into the GOP.

Has Mr. Moore been accused of any social improprieties that have occurred in the last 20 years?
If not, the GOP-e folks need to sit down and shut up.
If Steve Lowry hates the man, its all the more reason to love him. Steve Bannon is almost like another Andrew Breitbart. The closest thing to Andrew we have right now. From the same mold as our president.
Leslie Stahl reported that Senator John Tower danced naked on a grand piano with a Russian ballerina. Tower subsequently was not approved for the position of Secretary of Defense. Allegations must be proved.
Lowry should be honest and become a Democrat.
That would increase the number of honest democrats to one.
I believe that Rich Lowry had the honor of wrecking National Review before Joshua Goldberg got the chance to drag its ragged carcass down the gutter.
Other than that Lowry hasn’t done anything worth remembering.
RICH LOWRY IS A HAS-BEEN. Deal with it Rich ... and shit-can the petty jealousy of Bannon.
Lowry is either ignoring all the flaws in Moore’s accusers stories or is too willing to believe obvious RAT propaganda without question.
Beta Boy offers up his predictable opinion yet again.
Now, don’t be bad mouthing Steve Lowry...that’s Rich Lowry you despise.
Sadly, Rich is the editor of the National Review, once a great publication, now a warped bastion of never Trumpism, part of the problem, not the solution.
Poor Little Rich.....he still doesn’t get it
It’s Rich Lowry the man-child who sunk NRO
Where are the NeverMcConnells?
richy rich low-ry, you little pencil necked geek, my only message is ESAD.
Yeah, the Post has never been on Trump’s team. Sad, really, that no one in his home town supports him media-wise.
