The May 26 New Yorker has a great article called "The Fall of Conservatism". It's by George Packer, author of a pretty good book called "The Assassins' Gate - America in Iraq".

As I read the article, I was impressed once again with what a pathetic waste the "Conservative Movement" has been. The most encouraging quote is from David Brooks:

“You go to Capitol Hill—Republican senators know they’re **cked. They have that sense. But they don’t know what to do.”
