Marvin Olasky weighs in briefly on Katrina, the Bush Brothers, Romney, The Corner & more in a Q&A elsewhere on NRO this morning:

Lopez: Has the Bush administration been the model of “compassionate conservatism” you had hoped it would be? Olasky: I expected lots of slippage but hoped for a .350 average and an all-star berth. Instead, it’s struggled with major-league curveballs and has batted about .225. Lopez: Could Jeb Bush be your next compassionate conservative? Olasky: He is one, as are millions of others. If you’re asking whether he would make a good president, I believe the answer is “yes.” I hope that to get him we don’t have to go through our recent pattern of alternating Bushes and Clintons. Lopez: Since we’re dancing around 2008 now — will evangelicals vote for a Mormon? Olasky: Depends who he’s running against. I’d vote for a Mormon if he’s running against someone who seems less able to deal with national-security issues, appoint good judges, and promote compassionate conservatism. (Despite what some good folks on The Corner have suggested, compassionate conservatism was not originally proposed as a euphemism for big government. For example, some critics have stated that the Newt Republicans would never back compassionate conservatism — but Newt helped enormously in popularizing the approach in 1995 and 1996.)
