How the Other Half Vacations
What happens when you take 500 paleo-conservatives and put them on a cruise ship bound for Mexico? Hilarity ensues! Case in point, Norman Podhoretz:
"Aren't you embarrassed by the absence of these weapons?" Buckley snaps at Podhoretz. He has just explained that he supported the war reluctantly, because Dick Cheney convinced him Saddam Hussein had WMD primed to be fired. "No," Podhoretz replies. "As I say, they were shipped to Syria. During Gulf war one, the entire Iraqi air force was hidden in the deserts in Iran." He says he is "heartbroken" by this "rise of defeatism on the right." He adds, apropos of nothing, "There was nobody better than Don Rumsfeld. This defeatist talk only contributes to the impression we are losing, when I think we're winning."
I'd sign up next year just for laughts if I weren't absolutely convinced I'd be jumping over the rail an hour out of port.
