“Amy [Walter] used the ‘e’ word that I would like to ban from public discourse: ‘establishment,’” Will said. “There is no Republican establishment. In 1966 its house organ — the Republican establishment’s – the New York Herald-Tribune died. The establishment itself died two years earlier in Cow Palace in San Francisco with the nomination of Barry Goldwater.”
RICK SANTORUM: Gov. Perry steps into the race and he stepped on it a couple of times already. Washington DC is not Austin and my sense is that he's gonna have a pretty good learning curve, not just on what it means to run a national campaign and have the scrutiny of the national media that he didn't have in Texas— JOHN KING: What do you mean by he stepped on it? Continue Reading SANTORUM: Well his comments about Ben Bernanke, they were completely out of bounds. I don't agree with Ben Bernanke's policies... but to me the rhetoric that Rick Perry used was sort of the rhetoric I would expect from a John Conyers, talking about President Bush and saying he should be impeached. We don't do that. We don't impeach people, we don't charge people with treason because we disagree with them on public policy. You might say that they're wrong, you might say lots of things about how misguided they are, but you don't up the ante to that type of rhetoric. It's out of place, and hopefully Gov. Perry will step back and recognize that we're not in Texas anymore.

Okay, I've got it now. The Ruling Class R's simply do not like any other Republican taking it to the enemy. "Not prudent". No, language has got to be careful and measured and not too inflammatory -- NO TONE -- otherwise they won't be able to hold the high moral ground while tut-tutting over the left's propensity to virulence, and why they continually throw the "outsies" under the bus. Can you imagine the mental anguish of being confronted with Perry's remarks?This is exactly why they hate Sarah Palin, and now Herman Cain, and Allen West is not greatly appreciated for his plainspoken positions either.

Even a squirrel got nuts.
