Michael Gerson’s column today plays into every criticism of him. After a lot of on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand stuff, it confuses political action and/or posturing for substance. It pay no serious attention to criticisms of his preferred course of action and it basically paints the mainstream conservative position as regretably dogmatic while casting the me-too Republican view as bold and admirable.

Oh, the column is on cap-and-trade, in case you’re interested.
