Josh Marshall, in an essay in the New Yorker, excerpts from David Frum & Richard Perle's misnamed new book An End of Evil: "We have to cast off once and for all the 1970s cynicism that sneered from the back of the classroom at the joiner and volunteer.”
The metaphor, the classroom, puts me in mind of Bush's State of the Union address in which he refers to a "permission slip" in international relations. Kent pointed the phrase out to me.
Did these people never grow up?
