Not being a closeted Paulster, Jonah Goldberg couldn’t quite “come out,” but at least he’s poking his head out from inside the whale (aka, the almighty leviathan of statism) in this column, via Steve Bartin, from the Lew Rockwell Blog.

“Jonah is great on Huckabee and not too bad on Ron. He even pooh-poohs the smears of some of his fellow neocons. Jonah, good for you, even if you are only recognizing, on the distant horizon, the first signs of the Ron Paul Tsunami that will transform American politics.”

Here’s a sample of Goldberg’s piece:

“I would not vote for Paul mostly because I think his foreign policy would be disastrous (Also, he’d lose in a rout not seen since Bambi versus Godzilla). But there’s something weird going on when Paul, the small-government constitutionalist, is considered the extremist in the Republican party, while Huckabee, the statist, is the lovable underdog. It’s even weirder because it’s probably true: Huckabee is much closer to the mainstream. And that’s what scares me about Huckabee and the mainstream alike.”

Hey Jonah! Bambi versus Godzilla? How about David versus Goliath? We know how that turned out….
