Today, Bernard Goldberg's book Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve comes out in paperback. I assume he's giving a nod to the old Stealer's Wheel song. In a short interview I heard with Mr Goldberg, I believe the premise of his book is spot on: the left has absolutely gone over the cliff and, while conservatives may still believe in important things, Republicans have lost it.
My dad smoked from the age of 17 until he was 56. But from that day forward (he just threw his pack of Chesterfields away that day and never looked back, by the way), he was the most anti-smoker I know. I kind of feel the same way about Mr Goldberg. A reporter and media personality at CBS, cut his teeth in left-leaning journalism, socialist summer camps, Ben Shahn drawings on the wall . . . stop me before I make a complete fool of myself (for our younger readers, please see Annie Hall) - he now has that bit of missionary zeal about him. You go, Bernie!
