Modernizing Conservatism

This entry was posted in Republicans on by

David Brooks touts bush as a saviour (original behind the NYT curtain) as noted by the Boston Globe:

Assaying the right-of-center crackup, David Brooks, The New York Times’s thoughtful conservative columnist, has praised Bush for modernizing conservatism and making the GOP the party of the middle class.

bush, of course, is the guy who should have given this statement in response to the libby indictments. How many of you, though, expected anything more than what you got…samo, samo for the last 5 years? It’s nice to know, Brooksie, that this is the shining figurehead of the future of conservatism as now we also know that the g w bush brand won’t be on the map for long.

Didn’t Make It

Exceptions (inclusion not guaranteed)For other current carnivals check out The Conservative Cat’s Carnival Page and The TTLB Uber Carnival
Note for Haloscan Users: Haloscan started (the end of July) rejecting trackbacks if they were submitted “too rapidly” by the same host. I don’t know what the timer is but it is long enough so that it was very difficult to ping everyone that is using Haloscan for trackbacks. I’m sure that they are doing this to try to hold back the tide of trackback spam but it makes the service pretty useless for carnival type posts. Perhaps you can contact them and urge some different solution. Update: Typepad appears to be doing the same thing. Everytime I update the Ark it appears the timers are reset and the long list of MT autogenerated pings fail. Yecchhhh….
