P.J.O’Rourke joins a long list of what some Freepers used to think were conservatives.

We cheered Lindsey Graham during impeachment, yelled “you magnificent Batard to Karl Rove. I even remember wayyyyy back when Freepers loved Chris Mathews because he was the only reporter to go after democrats.

There’s a reason why he’s the left’s favorite “conservative”.

And Arlen Specter was crucial to Clarence Thomas’ confirmation.

P.J. spends too much time with NPR types on “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me”. I guess he’s just too sophisticated for us.

Because he knows Boehner and other rinos are doing all they can to move left and the tea party is holding everyone back.

I don’t PJ’O has been a conservative for a very long time, he always fit in pretty well as Rolling Stone magazine didn’t he?

Yep. He went after Clinton so hard immediately after Lewinsky that Rush let him sit in for him a couple times.

P.J. O’Rourke is one of a long list of formerly prominent conservative writers who have long since past their expiration dates. Peggy Noonan, Pat Buchanan, R. Emmett Tyrell, and George Will are other examples. Fighting uphill in the Washington environment leads to some compromise of principle. Then there is the aging factor. Even prominent American writers like Mark Twain and H.L. Mencken wrote their best works before late middle age. It happens on the Left as well. If Garrison Keillor was ever funny, he surely is not humorous now. His Lake Wobegone show on PBS is dreadful, although I have not listened to it since 1998 or so.

So sad. I am cleaning out my bookshelves and PJ’s will definitely be boxed up for a book sale or wood stove pile. How soon before we hear about Ted Cruz and Pelosi co-hosting SNL?
