A shorter shelf life than the lambada.

So. Whatever happened to Andy Sullivan's Eagles? You remember:

There's a new group of people out there who are socially liberal but also foreign policy realists, especially among those who have been awakened to political engagement by September 11. Some of these used to be Scoop Jackson Democrats, but today's breed doesn't buy into the big government liberalism of the 1960s and 1970s either. Some are neocons who don't love the social right. Others are just Generation X and Y, who simply accept the social diversity of modern culture and want to see it defended against theocratic barbarians. These people are not comfortable with the Republicans' flirtation with the religious right, or their prosecution of the drug war or mixing of church and state; and they're not impressed by the Democrats' lack of seriousness in foreign policy or enmeshment with public sector interest groups. They're politically homeless, these people - but were probably key swing voters in the last election. Instead of hawks and doves, call these people "eagles." I think they'll play a key part in shaping the politics and culture of the next few years.

Are these guys holding rallies like the Promisekeepers (aka "Stadium Full O' Losers")? Having they started "shaping the politics and culture" yet? And how do they feel about the Jesus-Loves-Me-This-I-Know, Cause-Tony-Scalia-Tells-Me-So bunch of Bible junkies in the White House?

Andy seems to have obliterated the term from his vocabulary. Hiding it like a bad prom picture, hoping no one will ask to see it....
