Ahhh, to Once Have Been Young, Educated and Republican

David Brooks today continued reacquainting himself with academically-supported rationality, bemoaning the post-intellectual ugliness that is Team Moose Mom, and the damage it does to the GOP.

Meanwhile, closer to home, the best of Michigan's old-fashioned effete Georgetown Traverse City retailer Republicans, Gov. Bill Milliken, eased away from his primary endorsement of Gramps.

Too bad we don't have lots of Bill Milliken types in politics public service anymore, regardless of party.

Problem with his party is, you lay with dogs moose, you get up with fleas.
