Safire is one of a group of what I call "Potemkin Conservatives," a false front erected to fool the audience at a distance but unable to pass serious inspection. David Brooks is another good example as he pitches ideological softballs on NPR for the lefties to hit out of the park. I am old enough to remember when CBS radio foisted Kevin Phillips, a recent Bush basher, on its audience as a conservative spokesman in whatever they called their left-right soundbite series several years ago.

They are all over the place, but not hard to distinguish from the genuine article if you listen for a few minutes.

Yes, I read atleast part of Safire's remarks about The Passin of the Christ and was disgusted. As Jesus himself, said: remember, the world has hated ME first. And that is certainly becoming obvious. It seems as if darkness and its useful idiots are up to their eyeballs in fear and loathing.
