Because we are all so high-minded, no one around here is talking much about the DC madam story. Here’s a minor prediction. One of the supposed johns is allegedly the head of a conservative think tank. My somewhat informed guess is that the culprit is not the head of any of the major conservative think tanks. My guess is — if the story is true at all — it’s someone from a second, third or ninth tier joint. But, you can be sure that if it turns out to be some completely unknown outfit – the Institute for the Study of Policies That Center on Institutes or some such — you can be sure that, all of a sudden, this organization will be retroactively declared central to Everything Conservatives Believe In. Recall how that male escort guy suddenly became the George Will of the New Millennium and Armstrong Williams was the Black William F. Buckley when they were hit with scandal? You can be sure something similar will happen if this guy turns out to be a minor figure.
