Conservative Crack-Up: Every Man For Himself In Winger-Land

Yeah, we know that Bob Barr probably doesn't like Mike Huckabee's "compassionate conservative" ideas about economics -- but why the sudden cheap shot? (Especially considering this.) It's usually not a good idea to pick a fight with a guy who's got a regular cable news gig... but with Richard Mellon Scaife on his side (at least if this fawning interview in the Pittsburgh Tribute-Review is any indication), Barr has his own ammo... not exactly news here, but we may have a real cat-fight between the privacy/budget hawks and the Jesus hawks on our hands this summer. Ron Paul was just the beginning. It's every man for himself right now in Winger-land. Tom Cole knows it. Apparently Barr and Huckabee know it, too. Stay tuned.
