How a 31 year old destroyed the Heritage Foundation
Here’s the story of how a spoiled, rich kid took the most respected conservative policy think tank and made it into an arm of the Tea Party.
Fascinating.

Sorting through the wreckage, Washington conservatives can barely contain their anger at Needham for his ideological inflexibility and aggressive, zero-sum tactics.
What total horseshit. We’re supposed to believe these tactics are brand new, never before used by the party whose leader’s first words right after Obama was elected were “I hope he fails”.
Dream on, dupes. You bought into this hook, line, and sinker long before this puke came onto the scene.

I see this article is from the New Republic. Kind of OT, but you know what famous NR staffer got their start at the Heritage Foundation? Stephen Glass.

What’s weird is one of my peers in my profession is a son or grandson of Fuelner. We don’t talk politics much, probably a good thing, but I know he was a close fam friend of Jack Kemp.

According to the article, DeMint wasted no time affording himself the luxuries his new position could supply to him and in using the Heritage Foundation to promote only his policy ideas. I always knew that DeMint was for DeMint. He and Needham have ruined the Heritage Foundation’s reputation among many republicans, and I see this as being a very good thing because I am opposed to officials who aren’t members of Congress having an inordinate amount of influence on how this country is governed.
