Vanity Fair talks to Richard Perle, Kenneth Adelman, Michael Ledeen, Frank Gaffney, David Frum, Michael Rubin, and Eliot Cohen. Mostly they are angry and depressed.

I don't understand what point Michael Ledeen is trying to make with this:

Ask yourself who the most powerful people in the White House are. They are women who are in love with the president: Laura [Bush], Condi, Harriet Miers, and Karen Hughes.

There are also photographs of George W. Bush, Condeleezza Rice, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld taken by Annie Liebovitz.

That Ledeen quote is just plain creepy.

Conservatism was infected with girl cooties!

Michael Ledeen becomes twice as insane every year.

Michael Ledeen replies briefly and, ah, IMO rather indirectly (http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MjQ0OTQyNTdhNWE0NzAxNGMxYWQ2ODAxOTNjNWM4M2E=), to the press release promoting the VF article. I didn't realize when I replied similarly to Ronebofh's post that the above-linked article is indeed the pre-election teaser and not the whole article, doh!

Still, it's hard to imagine any context in which that particular quote was anything less than its daffy self.
