David Horowitz’s terrific online magazine FrontPage features a brilliant column by our own Deacon–“The Cheating Heart of the Democratic Party.” It is this morning’s must-read column, although it appears on FrontPage in impressive company including columns by Daniel Pipes and Ronald Radosh as well as a symposium with Angelo Codevilla, Radek Sikorski and Joel Mowbray. Great quote: “[K]ey Democratic leaders now regard issues and rules not as serious things in themselves, but as playthings to be manipulated almost without limit for political purposes. It is not so much that the Democrats try to hide the ball; most politicians do that. Rather, for the likes of Clinton and Gore, it is not clear that there is any ball to hide.”
The appropriate soundtrack with which to read Deacon’s column is of course the Ray Charles crossover smash of Hank Williams’ “Your Cheatin’ Heart.” Great line: “Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you.”
