This piece on “Forthcoming books for the soul-searching Republican” at TNR is funny for everyone who’s read too many political books over the past few years. My favorite is this slap at yellin’ Zell Miller:
A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Liberal RepublicanThe 2006 elections proved one thing definitively: Today's Republican Party can no longer compete in all 50 states. Republicans were wiped out across the former slaveless states of the North, including once-solid parts of Ohio, upstate New York, and New Hampshire. In this rueful memoir, a folksy Yankee Republican tells of how he no longer feels at home in his own party--and offers advice for what the GOP must do to rebuild its presence across the nation.
