Slouching Toward Bush Won't Save Us From Gomorrah By Robert H. Bork WALL STREET JOURNAL October 11, 1999 It is a considerable compliment to have one's book, "Slouching Towards Gomorrah," cited, even disparagingly, by a presidential contender whose proud boast it is that he does not read books. (He may not even have realized that he was referring to a book.) But George W. Bush knows people who do read books (just as he bragged that he may not know where East Timor is but he knows people who do know). Some of them even write his speeches for him. Bill Bennett, displaying a new-found optimism about the direction of American culture, mentioned that he was one. A rolodex is a wonderful substitute for actual knowledge. Mr. Bush's crack about slouching ("Too often, on social issues, my party has painted an image of America slouching toward Gomorrah"), made in a speech at the Manhattan Institute last week, was intended to separate himself from conservatives worried about the abysmal condition of American culture as well as from the liberalism responsible for the state of that culture. Dick Morris called it triangulation. drudgereport.com
