Excerpt: "It’s ironic that some of the same people who deride the narrow moralism of the “values voters”—Jane Smiley in her now-infamous rant in Slate, for instance—also deplore the “greed” driving Bush’s re-election. Greed is to the moralists of the left what sex is to the moralists of the right."

There are other choice sections in that article, including the bit about Bush voter demographics, Ah-nuld, etc.
