Bill Buckley choosing to ride into the sunset as an appeasing irrelevancy.
Reminds me of the liberal postions taken by Senator Barry Goldwater at the end of his public life.
Too tired out to fight the libs, so they join 'em.
Scr*w 'em.
Intellectuals. Hah.
It is a terrible shame about Goldwater. He married a young very liberal woman in his later years,and his aging mind was influenced immediately. It was so painful to watch this pioneer conservative turn liberal overnight with pro gay and other radical leftist statements. Mclaughlin was another sad case of conservative off the reservation for "poon tang". He was a former Priest that suddenly married a younger woman,and almost immediately began spouting non- conservative drivel. He is a male version of Eleanor Rodham Cliff now,except he is decidedly more feminine looking.
