Some of us are friends but as Joe Sabia said so well this week.
Do Right-Wingers Ever Defend Their Own?
A few months back, right-wing pundits at National Review and The Weekly Standard began to pressure Trent Lott into resigning as Senate Majority Leader because he told an “offensive” joke at Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday party. Almost no conservative journalists—save the excommunicated Pat Buchanan and Bob Novak—defended Lott from unfair, outrageous, and unproven charges of racism. Rather, they piled on and locked arms with Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, and Tom Daschle to oust Lott.

I guess it’s true—to paraphrase Harry Truman, if you’re in the conservative movement nowadays and you want a friend, get a dog.
