BUSH DID TO THE GOP

what Clinton did to the Democrats, says Jonah Goldberg.  For my own part let me suggest that the Clinton Presidency, on an array of metrics, was better for American than the Bush Presidency.  And there's a further important difference.  The damage done by Clinton to the Democrats and the country was mostly short term.  The damage Bush has done to the GOP and the nation will far more lasting in its effects.
