The Moose Stops Here

Frank Rich, writing in his weekly NY Times column, posits that now the general election is complete, those addicted to all things political (sheepish grin) need fear not. The circular firing squad that is the GOP is providing more than enough entertainment to provide the needed hit of political smack.

Election junkies in acute withdrawal need suffer no longer. Though the exciting Obama-McCain race is over, the cockfight among the losers has only just begun. The conservative crackup may be ugly, but as entertainment, it’s two thumbs up!

The Republicans did this to themselves, yet a convenient amnesia can be found in conservatives’ post-Election Day soul searching. There’s endless hand-wringing about Bush and McCain blunders and Abramoff-Stevens corruption, but there’s barely any mention of the nasty cultural brawls that defined the G.O.P. campaign narrative this year as the party clung bitterly once more to its 40-year-old “Southern strategy.”
