Timothy Noah is writing about conservatives again–this time on the alleged split between supply-siders and neoconservatives over the war in Iraq, the cost of which is said to endanger past and future tax-cutting. To give you some sense of Noah’s grasp of these matters, consider his description of David Frum as “a paleoconservative-turned-neocon camp.” That Frum was once a paleo will surely come as news both to him and to actual paleos. As for Noah’s larger thesis, I’ll believe it when such supply-side tax-cutters as former congressmen Vin Weber and Donald Rumsfeld turn against the Iraq war.
