Author of Bush's "New Democrat" rhetoric last night is a WSJ editorialist

Update: Too fucking perfect. According to David Kuznet at TNR, it wasn't Gerson who wrote the masterpiece. It was Bush's new head speechwriter, William McGurn. Just how completely phony was the speech? McGurn is a former editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page! All that big-government-conservatism, your-government-is-there-for-you pap Bush was spouting had been penned by one of those WSJ drown-it-in-the-bathtub, government-is-the-enemy hyper-libertarians, whose ex-colleagues have, among other things, been urging Bush to use Katrina as an excuse to push school vouchers on the exiled flood victims moving into other communities! Oh Democrats, Democrats, wherefore art thou?

1. Yeah, I knew they dumped the brains on that one
I mean, "wasteful storm"? Really, what kind sense is that?


But hey, please if you would, leave self-respecting libertarians out of this? Note, I mean only the self-respecting ones; Bush supporters are not in that group. Please give libertarian Bush supporters more and extra-strenth hell. I think they must be the worst of all.
