Okay, those Wingnut Welfare Queens over at the NRO threw themselves a little Conservative Summit meeting and had all manner of right-leaning "luminaries" in to share their "knowledge" and "expertise" with the gruel-thin, anxious crowds who congregated there to soak up some tips about how to retain your myopic, distorted view of the world when so clearly reality is crashing in on all sides of the NeoCon dream. Apparently, a dozen years of Republic Party hegemony has not worked out quite like they wanted, so now they are frantically convening to see what options are left to them.
Former Nancy Reagan speechwriter (She gave speeches? I thought she just stood there looking like an anorexic stop-sign in a Valentino gown and let Ronnie do the talking.) Mona Charen has decided that the path to a bright, Right-Wing future is to start a breeding program for baby Republican artists.
From Crooks and Liars:
Charen: When I travel around the country is when people say well you know how do we effect the country, how do we effect the culture, I will frequently say rather than have your kids be business men, teachers, lawyer—many other things—have them either be journalists or movie makers. That's where we have nothing in the culture…
Mona, sweetie! What a fantastic idea! Do you hear that Republic Party parents? We know it will be difficult, but you must do everything in your power to dissuade your children from stable, respectable professions like medicine, education, and the law, and encourage them to be writers and filmmakers. Huzzah! What a brilliant plan! What could possibly go wrong?
