Eve Fairbanks: โ€œThe story of who, exactly, is advising Mike Huckabee on foreign policy isnโ€™t worth untangling (did he or didnโ€™t he talk to John Bolton? What about Richard Allen? Could Allen be too senile to remember a Huckabee convo?). . .โ€ I saw Allen a few months ago, and he was sharper than most people half his age.

The post immediately before Fairbanksโ€™s concerned the alleged โ€œthuggeryโ€ of a conservative.
