"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

The Right-Wing Has Its Priorities

Zipping around the conservative Web, I don't see a lot about what's going on in Iran. (With the great exception of Andrew Sullivan, who has all sorts of links.) I do find them still trembling and moaning about David Letterman's jokes about Sarah Palin's family. Conservatism is no longer a body of ideas. It's a communal sense of perpetual victimhood and cult of personality.
