Why have conservative journalists lost it? Dec. 1, 2000 \| For George Will, the syndicated columnist and former Republican speechwriter, the cheese fell off the cracker on Nov. 11. That's when the mass-market intellectual, who prides himself on occupying a plane above the noisy fray, uncorked a column in the Washington Post that rattled with a peculiar hostility. The topic, of course, was the unfolding Florida recount of presidential ballots. The average American, Republican or Democrat, may have thought what was happening in Florida was a predictable, if highly contentious, legal battle to decide one of the closest elections in American history. But Will saw much more. He detected the remnants of Monica Lewinsky's "stained blue dress." He saw Gore's "serial mendacity." He spied a "corrupting hunger for power," a selfish attempt to create "postelection chaos" and "delegitimize the election." salon.com Agree on the count. Just tell me how many votes Bush and Gore had. Fair and square.
