As near as I can make out, David Brooks today argues that just because the inmates have taken over the asylum it doesn't mean that the inmates have taken over the asylum. Why? Because their rise hinges not on their popular appeal but rather because the last Republican administration and its supporter destroyed the economy. And, despite all evidence to the contrary, they have yet to inject their crazy virus into the Republican Party. Reading it is sort of like watching a worm wriggling on hook; only in this case the worm has impaled itself.
UPDATE:
Murkoski's write in campaign is not evidence of a civil war inside of the Republican Party, and Karl Rove's recanting his claim about O'Donnell's unfitness for office is not evidence that the inmates have taken over the asylum.
