John Derbyshire is one of the reasons National Review will never again achieve the prominence it had under Bill Buckley.
Derb is, quite simply, a snob. I have no use for snobs who think they are better than me with their nasal Mr. Howell-esqe “Yes, I remember BBC 4, Lovey” vapidity.
Rush Limbaugh IS the leader of the Conservative movement, Derb. Get on board, or get your snooty butt outta the way.
If that's true, we're screwed.
