"The Gingrich Revolution In Reverse And On Steroids"

In an admirable and ambitious attempt to cement his reputation as a fool and a hack, David Brooks turns up today dreading the free-spending ways of an impending Democratic government. This sudden conversion to deficit-hawk certainly represents a Road To Damascus style epiphany for Mr. Brooks, as prior to this he (and his fellow "national greatness" conservatives) demonstrated a blithe unconcern or even contempt for fiscal discipline.

Many people thought that the last eight years already represented the high-water mark for "the Gingrich revolution in reverse and on steroids". He warns of "big government ahead". Gee, you don't think they'll do anything crazy, like nationalize the banking system, do you?
