It is worth remembering that in the end Alger Hiss and his "glittering" legion of tittering, elitist, snobbish supporters finally lost, although at great cost to those who challenged them. Nixon was, it now seems clear, scarred for the rest of his life. Chambers was suicidal. The important point, however, is that it was "the plain men and women" who carried the day.

In time, they will do so again when they get Obama's underlying philosophy in focus.

They will get the core of Barack Obama just as they get the core of Bill Maher.

Just as they got Alger Hiss.

And by the way, why do you think it is that they listen to Rush?
