[color: orange]He also goes on to mention that "For conservatives to hope the election of yet another Republican will set things right is surely in vain. To believe that President John McCain will reduce the scope and intrusiveness of federal authority, cut the imperial presidency down to size, and put the government on a pay-as-you-go basis is to succumb to a great delusion."[/color]

I caught almost all of his appearance on Bill Moyers (video available) in August and was really impressed. So then I was in Boston last week and tried to get his most recent book but it was backordered thanks to all the Moyers watchers.

Finally my unloved alma mater hired somebody interesting. In the age of fake Rovian "lipstick" controversies, it is interesting to find atypical conservatives (and perhaps lapsed conservatives) who have a clear head and who are eloquent.
