Novak and Boortz on Republican "malaise"

from Chuck Muth (and his News and Views):

TUNA ON RYE, HOLD THE MALAISE

"As measured by offices held, Republicans have been in much worse shape during my half-century of reporting in Washington. Their party was a mere remnant after the Democratic landslides of 1958, 1964 and 1974. But never before have I seen morale within the party so low."

- Columnist Robert Novak

JUST DESSERTS

"Robert Novak writes that he has never seen the morale of the Republican Party so low. Well, I guess that's what happens when you completely abandon your principles and double the size of the federal government when you move into power after 40 years in the wilderness."

- Atlanta talk-show host Neil Boortz
