Letters: Two wrongs by Jonah Goldberg

Re “GOP: Grand old potshots,” Opinion, Oct. 22

Jonah Goldberg makes two of the most wrongheaded statements in the history of column writing:

He writes: “We’ve seen the influence of big business decline in the GOP as new populist PACs have declared war on … K Street.” The billionaire Koch brothers, the Heritage Foundation and the Scaife Foundations are populist?

Goldberg writes: “The public has grown more conservative during the Obama presidency.” Did he forget who won the last election?
