The Stupid Party

Kathleen Parker writes yet another "Why is my party so damn stupid?" column, and adds this:
Republicans aren’t really stupid, of course, and Begala acknowledges this. But, as he also pointed out, the conservative brain trust once led by William F. Buckley has been supplanted by talk radio hosts who love to quote Buckley (and boast of his friendship) but who do not share the man’s pedigree or his nimble mind. Moreover, where Buckley tried to rid the GOP of fringe elements, notably the John Birch Society, today’s conservatives have let them back in. The 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference was co-sponsored by the Birchers.
But Buckley famously said he'd rather be governed by random people in the Boston phone book than the Harvard faculty. The Republican voter is just putting that into practice -- hence Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Joe the Plumber, Christine O'Donnell, etc.

And no mention of Buckley should fail to include this.

Nice pedigree, Kathleen.

Heya! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.
Does running a well-established blog like yours require a lot of work?
I am brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my diary
daily. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
