Iowahawk ^ | March 4, 2009 | David Burge

[ed. note: a number of you have written requesting I invite T. Coddington Van Voorhees VII back for another analysis of the sad state of the conservative movement. After some cajoling and a bottle of VSOP, he agreed.]

I know I’m going to get flamed for this but ‘moderates’ are the key. I don’t what they are, how they can be so oblivious, etc. But they sure as hell sent this country on the most destructive course conceivable.

Still discussion worthy or you wouldn’t have posted it.

Heh. I loved his prior rip — largely aimed, IMO, at the likes of Christopher Buckley — and will go read this one eagerly.

I have to say that. Past experience with Iowahawk articles makes it frequently necessary. :)

Bump for Part II, T. Coddington Van Voorhees VII.

Killingly funny. And amusingly lethal...

Today the Van Voorhees family sextant rests proudly atop my private shipboard desk. I'm admiring it now; there it sits, in its protective crystal bell jar, alongside Marinus' rapier, both still bearing the sanguinary patina of their provenance.

Iowahawk's casual lampoon of the NR-type raised-pinky "conservatives" displays better writing than they can muster when dead serious.

As I explained all this to President Obama, I assured him that there are still many conservatives like us who patriotically wish him every success, no matter what policies he has in mind.

Ouch.

Genius! For a while there I forgot I was reading an Iowahawk parody and had the words ringing in my head with a Thurston Howell accent. Very entertaining!

An absolutely hilarious lampooning of a handful of “conservative” twits like WFB’s stupid son, and Kathleen Parker, who never successfully hid the contempt she always held for traditional conservatives and, last but not least, Peggy Noonan, who did truly fool many of us.
