What The Hell Just Happened?

Tom Junod: I am watching Mike Huckabee on Fox.



He is declaring that two years after being pronounced dead, the Republicans are back — and he's comparing their resurgence to Twilight, or The Night of the Living Dead.



That is, to a vampire movie, and a movie about flesh-eating ghouls.



Thanks, Huck.



For the last 12 hours I have been sitting in a hotel room and watching the resurgence on Fox News. I was wondering what to call it.



Two years after The Eight Years.



Two years after eight years of unprecedented power grabs.



Two years after eight years of unprecedented desecrations of practice and abrogations of principle.
