And he's severed his legal defense from them. Haven't seen Steyn on the back page at all in several issues. Anybody know if he's completely done at National Review? I need to cancel my subscription, if so.
My final appearances at National Review Online were a spat with my editor, Jason Lee Steorts, over "two jokes one can no longer tell on American television" that I quoted in a column on Phil Robertson's suspension for "homophobia". First, Bob Hope, touring the world in the year or so after the passage of the 1975 Consenting Adult Sex Bill:(snip)
Mr Steorts thought my resurrection of these ancient "slurs" was "derogatory" and "puerile":
Bill Buckley is spinning in his grave.
Was wondering the same thing - I just thought he had taken a few issues off (as he does from time-to-time).
If this really was a result of his tiff with the panty-waist JLS, then I will not be renewing my subscription to NR.
And I'll let them know as much.
There have been a number of magazines that have gome over to the Commie left.
Forbes, it took about four years after old man Forbes passed on that Stievie, who ran for Republican Pres. nomination finally forced me to drop subscribing to what used to be a “conservative” magazine.
Something very similar is happening with NR. They have taken less than four years to go Commie Left after the passing of Buckley. I still hold out hope but when my subscription runs out, I will think long and hard about other options
