The Beltway meme is to conflate Cruz’s use of the word “imagine” with the John Lennon song. The little girlie-boys over at National Review seem to have been the first. My guess is that we have a few more days of this idiocy, before they move on to some other inanity.

Some who knew him ascribed it to jealousy of the great writers he once had working there. Buckley rarely contributed anything of substance to his own magazine.
