It’s been a generation since Ronaldus Magnus, as Rosalynn Carter said, “made us comfortable with our prejudices,” but just as important, he made the media comfortable with style over substance.

“And if you wonder how a gelatinous, sagging blob like that could become the living symbol of a major political party…” Well, their animal symbol isn’t a greyhound or a race horse.
