nasty tirade to the National Review. Welcome to Camp Coulter,

Mendacity and Malice Won
By Mary Matalin
November 7, 2012 2:23 P.M
What happened? A political
narcissistic sociopath leveraged fear and ignorance with a campaign marked by
mendacity and malice rather than a mandate for resurgence and reform. Instead
of using his high office to articulate a vision for our future, Obama used it
as a vehicle for character assassination, replete with unrelenting and
destructive distortion, derision, and division.
Mitt Romney distinguished
himself and conservatism with a grounded, courageous, forward-thinking
problem-solving reform agenda for a nation ready to renew and starved for
leadership and maturity. He is a man of integrity and character, as is his
whole family. And unlike in the 1996 and 2008 Republican campaigns, which —
though led by men of great personal integrity — were marked by dead-end policy
prescriptions, Romney/Ryan laid a durable philosophical and policy foundation
for the next generation of conservative leadership.
Unfortunately and
unfortuitously, forces of nature bookended the general election: Our convention
was compromised by one weather disaster and our momentum stalled by another.
Two human hurricanes also radically altered the political atmosphere: Bill Clinton’s
unique windbaggery constituted a campaign updraft, while Chris
Christie’s deplorable and gratuitous
gas-baggery infused the campaign with a toxic political pollution.
We live to fight again. See St. Paul from today.
