...G.O.P. has no ideological box big enough to hold the people Bush has gathered; conservatives of every stripe are pitching in. Lindsey, for example, may be a tax-cutting supply sider, but he spent his time at the Federal Reserve fighting inner-city red lining by major banks. Al Hubbard, a onetime deputy chief of staff to Dan Quayle, pushed for massive deregulation of business during the 1990 recession and now squires kindred spirits to Austin.

"[These rights] have become soaked into our culture, part of what we think of as the guarantees of American freedom and what we stand...
...that's debatable: Frank Haddad (played byTony Shalhoub), Hubbard's FBI Lebanese-AmericanMuslim sidekick, is a very positive, humorous andhuman portrayal of the first major non-terroristMuslim character in a Hollywood movie. The mostpowerful moment in the film shows Haddad searchingthe internment center frantically for his 13year-old son, a natural-born American citizen,whom the Army seized from his own home duringtheir round-up. I put myself in his son's placeand imagined my father as Frank--both came to thiscountry 20 years ago, both became naturalizedcitizens and both made their careers in theservice of others.
