By that I mean, Jeff Jacoby waves his lily white hands in a pontifical fashion over the bowed head of Mitt Romney and blesses the ex-governor's clumsy lurch to the right as 2008 Presidential Primary opens.
It is Jeff's thesis that Mitt was always a conservative, he merely made the youthful and rash decision to pretend to be a gay friendly social moderate in order to win in 1994 and again in 2002.
What Jeff is saying here in other words, is that it is "permissible" if distasteful for conservatives to lie in order to gain office.
Be that as it may, Jeff Jacoby has expended a lot of brainpower trying to excuse the rampant excesses of conservatives and conservatism...He certainly cannot stop now.
What Humble Elias wants to know is, when did Jeff Jacoby become so strangely tolerant Mitt Romney's political transvestitism?
Given what we now know...how can anyone believe Romney's sudden wingnuttery no matter how much he bats his eyes, swishes his skirts, tosses his hips and crashes his castanets?
I mean, Candidate Willard threw on some pretty gaudy pro-gay drag back in 1994 kids, promised the South End it's own New Deal and more besides.
has Jeff forgotten this guy voted for Paul Tsongas in 1992? At a time when he could have thrown a vote down for either GWB's father or Pat Buchanan?
Now Mitt is all over New Hampshire pretending to be a bloodthirsty freeper of long vintage, and Jeff Jacoby seems to be the only guy in the punditariat to believe it all on face value.
