Fakes, Frauds, & Founders
Behold These GoofsÂ
Unable to stage signing the “Mount Vernon Statement” at, um, Mount Vernon, massed conservatives held their event instead at the swanky Collingwood Library & Museum, a former dinner theatre venue on property  once owned by George Washington and now available for wedding rentals.
Mount Vernon wouldn’t let them hold a political event on its grounds, so the free marketeers turned to their weapon of choice, and hired a hall.
Fox did its ungrammatical best to hang onto that fresh Founding Fathers smell:
The New Nation/new grammar enthusiasm got the better of the Statement-os as well. Their classy yellow fake parchmentie web page recalls “selfevident truths.”
Further bizarre historical analogies came in the Statement-os comparison of themselves to the signers of the Sharon Statement, a storied conservative event held at William F. Buckley’s Connecticut estate sixty years ago. What mileage they achieve from Eisenhower era ties to a dead pot-smoking Iraq war opponent is unclear.
