William Bennett: George Will scorns Pence for the high crime of decency
Fox News ^ | May 12, 2018 | William Bennett

Posted on 05/13/2018 6:28:56 AM PDT by libstripper

Conservative syndicated columnist George Will wrote this week that Vice President Mike Pence has “become America’s most repulsive public figure.” Why does Will think Pence deserves this absurd slur? Apparently, the columnist has found the vice president guilty of the heinous crime of being a decent man.

Former Education Secretary William Bennett starts out with the excerpt and proceeds to burn all the bark off Georgie in the rest of this brilliant, deservedly vituperative, article, which also, and sarcastically, ransacks Roget's. It's even more blistering than what we here at FR wrote a few days ago.

I really wish people would stop lying about George Will.

He’s no conservative.

George Will is a putz.
The only topic he should opine about is baseball.

I missed what I presume was the orignal posting of the George Will column, where “we here at FR wrote” blistering comments.

My comment - someone needs to get George Will back on his meds, or off his illicit drugs, or both. I’m leaning towards both. Pence is just a class act, period.

Kudos to Bill Bennett for calling out Will on his nonsense.

George Will has always been a petty, mean spirited globalist.

Will is a lace cuff and snuffbox Whig toff who looks down his nose at everybody yet imagines he’s salt of the earth because he occasionally writes pieces about baseball.

Will has hatred of the good for being the good. One of the internal signs of evil, just like leftards

Brilliant and witty put down of Will by one of my favorite pundits. Just so sad that his radio show disappeared off my band dial.

When George Will wrote his article about the Vice President we saw what happens when an atheist gets old and bitter.

The only thing left for conservatives to do is to say goodbye to George Will and to pray that his sick heart and soul will be healed.

He is “conservative”, but only in the same way the Mullahs in Iran are called conservative.

George Will sees himself as some type of high minded superior judge. Just like Tomas de Torquemada, the Grand Inquisitor.

Most secular atheists hate Christians, so no surprise.

Great column! The things that Will said about Pence were so completely unhinged that they actually ended up being funny.

For the life of me, I couldn’t imagine what he’d found so offensive about Pence. But when I read this column, I saw that he’d found something wildly offensive in the well-behaved, barely-breathing George H. Bush, too.
