Guess he gets the finger from me

Kevin Drum drives a Hummer!?!?!?!?

I half suspect that my entire Northern California readership would disown me if I ever fessed up publicly to the brand of car I drive.

Update: I just went to read the article Kevin cites. In the blurb it says that Tom Wolfe is "bewildered by a sex-mad society". And connects this with liberal elites. That the elite is forcing immorality on the good God-fearing folk of America. And that the Bush vote is a reaction to this.
This is hogwash. The good God-fearing folk of America are managing to twist morality perfectly well, all by themselves. It's not the coastal elites who have a "twisted morality". Maybe it's just that the coastal elites are rather less hypocritical. Bringing back school prayer isn't going to make the culture less sex-mad. Neither is banning gay marriage, or even rounding the gays up and sending them to the camps. Not when sex permeates everything the way it does in this culture.

Another choice snippet from Wolfe:

You are considered twisted and retarded if you support Bush in this election. I have never come across a candidate who is so reviled. Reagan was sniggered it, but this is personal, real hatred.

Umm, how about Bill Clinton? Talk about personal, real. irrational hatred. Bush has been subject to nothing like the venom that Clinton endured.
