Recommended: Tea Party to the Rescue How the GOP was saved from Bush and the establishment.

Peggy Noonan has an interesting piece in Friday's Wall Street journal - Tea Party to the Rescue: How the GOP was saved from Bush and the establishment. She argues that the Tea Party woke up the comfortable, aging, misty-eyed Republican Party, and put some purpose and backbone back into it - all those Republicans who went to Washington in the Reagan era, all fired up to do some good, and then over the years BECAME Washington and forgot why they were there. An interesting piece.
