The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : Steve Forbes Is Back

Just back from a reception in Old Town Alexandria for VA GOP Attorney General candidate Ken Cuccinelli with special guest Steve Forbes. An all-star conservative crowd was in the house (multiple RET and Regnery spottings reported) and Cuccinelli, as expected, did not disappoint. What a wonderful AG this man will make (and knock wood it looks like he might well make it).

But the big news is the manner in which Forbes brought the house down. Funny, witty, and armed to the teeth with solutions. Huge hit. So much that I commented to him that this could well be his time.

Think about it before you laugh. There is a lot more room in the GOP for a Steve Forbes today than there ever has been.

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

The American Christmas, like the songs that celebrate it, makes room for everybody under the rainbow. Is that why so many people seem to be hostile to it?
