NOVAK THEORIES

Greg Djerejian thinks it’s mischief-making – but he doesn’t know, and he’s honest enough to be horrified at the possibility it’s true. Some NRO readers think it’s a trial balloon. I have no idea – but what it does show is that, at least within the administration, there is some recognition of how grim our options now are. It’s funny to see the relative silence at the Weekly Standard and NRO. Jonah is honest enough to raise the issue; but the others are probably waiting for the call from the RNC to be told what to write. Meanwhile, as for the past couple of weeks, radio silence from the right. (It is telling, though, that the only piece to tackle the hard reality of what has been going on was Derbyshire’s in favor of leaving the darkies behind.)
