Rush is in the midst of gushing all over this morning's Mitt Romney "I Am Mormon Hear Me Roar" speech. In Rush's words, "Romney is taking the long-view" of American history - who we are, how we got here; and the vital role religion played in that journey. The speech seems to be a success, but time will tell if it achieves iconic status and the turning point in Romney's campaign.
All of this makes me think of a line from The Departed ...
Frank Costello: I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. Years ago we had the church. That was only a way of saying - we had each other. The Knights of Columbus were real head-breakers; true guineas. They took over their piece of the city. Twenty years after an Irishman couldn't get a fucking job, we had the presidency. May he rest in peace. That's what the niggers don't realize. If I got one thing against the black chappies, it's this - no one gives it to you. You have to take it.
Could it happen?
