Rush on Goldberg  —  A reader sent me this, I assume it's good-faith accurate: … Me: A few quick points.  Just for the record, I do not see eye-to-eye with Brooks or Frum on all sorts of things about the current state of conservatism.  As for Bill, I'm just not sure where he comes down on various issues.
