Jonah Goldberg ruminates on the defeat of Robert Bennett in the Republican primary in Utah.
Ironically, both George W. Bush and Barack Obama were elected promising to “change the way Washington works.” For the powers that be, the more frightening and tangible lesson from Utah might well be: “This time we mean it.”
Changing the way Washington works .... coming from the grass roots.
What's interesting and invigorating, is that the insurgents are Conservatives. All the 60s hippies with their tie-died shirts and their ponytails (even if they are disguised in tailored suits and black face) are the Establishment. The ones who we no longer trust. The "Man" who we're speaking truth to. It's interesting to see the bewilderment.
