Excellent post by Glenn Greenwald on how conservatism and the GOP under Bush devolved into a cult of personality and how liberalism can avoid the same – and to a large extent already has, in that liberals are far more liable to criticize Obama than conservatives were to criticize Bush. It’s interesting that one of the right’s loudest criticisms of Obama is the bit about “The One,” that liberals follow him as blindly as the mice followed the pied piper.
