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.
