Those beltboy clowns got nothing on Moe, Larry and Curly. :)
I can remember in the early 80s when I was more moderate and Fred, Mort and even Krauthammer wrote for The New Republic.
Incredible eh?
I think William Kristol even wrote some pieces for them back then too. Horowitz and Collier too...Hitchens as well
The New Republic(and many others) was a bit of an incubus for NeoConservatism....and it shows today.
