Today the Raleigh News & Observer compared the North Carolina GOP to the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years:
Republicans who today assume control of both houses of the N.C.
General Assembly may in some ways identify with Moses and the Hebrew
people who wandered the deserts in search of the Promised Land for 40
years. Except for a brief flirtation with power when they controlled
the state House in the mid-1990s, Republicans have been kept out of
true power on Jones Street long enough to have built up quite a thirst.
I suppose this makes Phil Berger, what, Moses?
