The Republicans are coming!!
David Brooks’ advice to Republicans for their NYC convention next fall:
This week I read that you have abandoned plans to house Republicans safely on a cruise ship off the island of Manhattan during the G.O.P. convention in New York this summer. Have you paused to consider what this will mean?It will mean that instead of spending time in a secure environment offshore, kind, decent Republicans will be wandering innocently among packs of inflamed New York liberals. They’ll be subjected to long harangues that rely heavily on the words “multilateral,” “Kyoto” and “John Ashcroft.” They’ll get condescending looks when they go into a deli and order a strawberry and chocolate chip bagel with pineapple cream cheese – a perfectly acceptable bagel option in most suburbs. They will naively pick up The Village Voice, thinking it contains small-town news.
