Some enterprising, sharp liberal journalist (Matt Taibbi, maybe?) needs to go on one of these National Review cruises and write up the experience. I mean, you've got guest of honor Arthur Laffer mingling with "Dick Morris(!), Victor Davis Hanson, Ed Gillespie, Michael Steele, Robert Bork(!!), Richard Allen, William Rusher, John Hillen, Mac Owens, Kathryn Jean Lopez, Jonah Goldberg, Rich Lowry, Kate O’Beirne, Jay Nordlinger, and Ramesh Ponnuru." How could hilarity, or awkwardness, or absurdity not ensue? And it just occurred to me that the NR staffers on the cruise almost certainly don't pay for their own tickets. I really need to convinced TAP to start subsidizing my vacations...
