Whining Conservatives

Michael Currie Schaffer has a nifty article at The New Republic online about our new age of Republican crybabies. This has been one of my favorite hobbyhorses: Conservatives love to talk tough and self-fellate over what hardboiled realists they are. Until things go awry for them. Then they open up the spigots with a blast of whining so shrill one feels the need to swaddle the crystal in bubble wrap.
