A while back I blogged that I couldn’t go back to being a liberal – couldn’t go home again, as they say – because there was no there there. Today, via Glenn, I noticed the following from Ann Althouse, regarding Palin baby coverage in the supposedly liberal New York Times: Did the “belief that women can balance family life with ambitious careers” just become right wing? If so, wow! That is perhaps the most amazing political flip I’ve seen in my life.
Well, yes… assuming you think the left wing even exists (in terms of ideas) and is not merely a form of business interest group or hiring hall. Obviously, I’m beginning to question that (the existence). I don’t know where Ann stands in that regard, but if you’re looking for more evidence this is “just business” check out how the lefty gang that runs the Retire Ted Stevens website (as in the Repub. Alaska senator) removed reference to Palin’s opposition to The Bridge to Nowhere from their site. The original cached version is here. (It’s the Internet, guys. Everybody leaves tracks.)
As I said, there’s no there there, in more ways than one.
