From John Lowell: “Lew, you wrote
But you can be sure that if she plans to be a successful vice president under a McCain administration, all of this will be swept under the carpet and her primary accomplishment in life will have been to dupe many people into supporting an administration that promises to be the worst thing that has happened to this country since Bush was sworn in.
“Duped? I don’t think so. The persons Palin excites about McCain who earlier had been cool toward him have done nothing but embrace the very policies that will, in fact, make a McCain administration the worst thing that has happened to this country since Bush was sworn in. Its the ReichsChurch, the Dobsons, Lands and, yes, sadly, Neuhauses, that will now not hestitate to back McCain. I say sadly of Neuhaus because it might have been otherwise. Their next triumph, the coming Faustian bargain to be offered non-fascist social conservatives on Supreme Court justices: For reversing Roe vs. Wade you get a Caudillo while you weren’t looking. But they’ll be taking these steps with their eyes opened. Not one will be duped.”
