Conservative Inc Folds

On Friday at Steyn HQ, we received an inquiry from a reporter seeking a comment on "the agreement between Mann and NRO." Unfortunately, having had no communication from our "co-defendants" National Review (NR), we had to scramble around a bit to figure out what the reporter was talking about.

A different publication, The Daily Pennsylvanian, reports:

Penn professor Michael Mann has reached an agreement with the National Review that releases him from paying the company's remaining legal fees from his defamation case in exchange for dropping ongoing litigation against the magazine.

It turns out, in classic National Review fashion, they had a winning hand but, they have managed to turn it into a loser...

You got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em.....

'Cause every hand's a winner And every hand's a loser

In exchange for dropping the half million Mann was ordered to pay them, Mann will drop his appeal of the verdicts in their favor. In other words: Mann wins, NR loses.

Mann deserves to be impoverished for his misbehavior, leaving him publicly embarrassed and, more importantly, without the financial means to attack others and create even further chaos.

Maybe they are being courted for a buyout from a wealthy lib billionaire?
