Heil myself!

(NOTE: Some of you out there recognize my headline here as the title of a song from one movie and a joke line from another movie. Name the movies.)
Jonah Goldberg is a columnist for the conservative National Review, and his writings appear in various newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune.
 He’s also the son of Lucianne Goldberg, a literary agent who gained fame in 1998 when she gave federal investigators tapes of phone conversations between her friend Linda Tripp and Bill Clinton’s friend Monica Lewinsky.
The younger Goldberg is out with a book cleverly titled “Liberal Fascism.” He was hawking it on TV the other day when he offered his host the observation that today’s American liberalism is DESCENDED FROM NAZISM.
Well, it’s true. No use denying it. In fact,  I go to annual reunions of our ideological family, and I can attest to the goosestepping all over the place and the promoting of Aryan pride and the tributes to Charles Lindbergh. It’s really quite moving.
We also listen to the Oval Office tapes of Richard Nixon, or at least to the parts where he speaks ill of Jews. That Nixon! What a cut-up!
But now that this Goldberg kid has made the connection between us libs and Mein Fuhrer and is blabbering about all over the TV, I guess we’ll have ooohl-kay the ahtsi-nay stuff for a while.Â

Pat, there’s a reason they call it National SOCIALISM — of course it’s a liberal plot!

Hey, Will, you failed to identify the movies from which I borrowed “Heil myself.” It’s a joke line from the 1983 Mel Brooks movie “To Be or Not to Be,” and it’s a song title from Brooks’ “The Producers.”
