Dog Whistle.

Still high on Joe Wilson's neo-confederate fumes, a Corner reader has a proposition for Kathryn Jean Lopez:

A friend e-mails a sentiment I'm hearing a lot of: "I think back in the old days, 18th and 19th centuries, that sort of stuff was the norm . . . I say we go back."


Color me, um, unsurprised that a National Review reader would find the "old days" -- when he or she would undoubtedly own a slave or two -- so appealing.

...Dude! In his previous life, Wilson was totally Strom Thurmond's grundelmeister! After the Senator, happily, died, Wilson said this:



Niiiiiiiiiice.

(This, incidentally, is the origin of grundelmeister.)
