“Cheers erupted” at the headquarters of the conservative Weekly Standard, according to a blog post by a member of the magazine’s staff, with the headline “Obama loses! Obama loses!” Rush Limbaugh declared himself “gleeful.” “World Rejects Obama,” gloated the Drudge Report. And so on.
So what did we learn from this moment? For one thing, we learned that the modern conservative movement, which dominates the modern Republican Party, has the emotional maturity of a bratty 13-year-old.
Hey Paul: calling someone a bratty 13 year old moves the conversation as far forward as celebrating the loss of the Olympics. I agree with the premise of your article, and think that it is important. However, that gets lost in your cheapshot.
You won a Nobel Prize. Act like it. Write like it. We need you to.
