A couple interesting tidbits from Gerson’s wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gerson
“In early 1999, Karl Rove recruited Gerson for the Bush campaign.[5]”
And this gem:
“One of Gerson’s first columns was entitled “Letting Fear Rule”, in which he compared skeptics of President Bush’s immigration reform bill to nativist bigots of the 1880s [12]”
Very interesting. He’s just a walking poster boy for elitism and has been in bed with both sides; it is becoming more apparent everyday that there never have been ‘sides’. The only ‘sides’ that existed, Dems and Repubics, were the ones in our own minds. It’s just been one philopshy and one party all along (except when President Reagan was in office).
