Cheney would give his left nutsack before conceding his view of Article II and the FedSoc monomaniacs are dug in the OLC like the Japanese at Rabaul. Here’s another one.

He laboriously and cogently (with excessive wordiness but extreme clarity) sets forth what the neoconservatives believe, the power they wield, and the post-911 political realignment in which their role is pivotal. That realignment makes sense of why many Democrats oppose Leiberman, and why many Bush supporters (who mostly are Republicans) react with anger to attacks on, and a primary challenge to, a <strong>Democrat</strong>, Joe Lieberman. (Why do Republicans care? Glenn answers that question, correctly.) Mark claims:
