I hope they kick completely him off the reservation - from what I’ve seen and read, he doesn’t represent conservatism or conservative values.

That’s why I did the “/s”

Sorry, I didn’t notice that.

Interestingly enough, in his NR column of 29 September 2008 (”A Thousand Points of Spite”), Buckley the younger wrote that Sarah Palin was “’ . . .a bit of all right.’”

He's a bit of fickle!

In a movie called the Stoned Age, the main guy refuses to allow “Don’t Fear the Reaper” to be played in his car. He says it’s a, shall we say, “wimpy” song. His friend argues and says, “It’s BOC. How can it be a [wimpy] song?” He answers back, “Let me tell you something. Every band puts out a [wimpy] song so they can find out who the faggots are.”

i believe you are mistaken about Ms. Lopez.

I had the exact same thought. Christopher Buckley is a good comic novelist, but after reading his books I got the sense that the author pretty much subscribed to the worldview of the liberal establishment.

I guess Chris Buckely’s “conservatism” is one of inertia, not conviction.

I suspect that we will see at lot more of this denouncing of conservatives by Chris in order to gain the approval of the liberal elites. Chris Buckley will become the next David Brock!

Judging by the fact that what he wrote has been re-posted here, the enormous amount of replies, and even your reply it is clear that many many people DO care.

If you say so. Happened upon the thread and commented. Never gave a thought to what Chris Buckley thought before and hadn't given it a thought since 'til you brought it up. 168(now 169) is an "enormous" amount of replies?
