I meant something new for Gottfried. The man carries around an awful lot of anger. You can see that in a lot of his writing. If he's able to keep it under control in the book it would be to his credit.

Sobran went through major changes in his life. He also ended up pretty embittered. I don't know if everybody who put in a good word for him was approving what he became, or sad about his decline and regretful about his lost promise.

His "decline" being objecting to the neocon takeover of the conservative movement. What a Nazi! /sarc

Go back and read what Sobran was writing in exile ten years ago and compare it to the pabulum that was being spewed by the WEEKLY STANDARD and remnants of NR back then. Then ask yourself who had really "declined".

Gottfied's rage was wholly justified.
