National Review has become a joke. The former standard of conservative thought has become a glossy version of the National Enquirer complete with self-aggrandizing writers working to make a name for themselves instead of producing well-written treatises on the events of the day from a thoughtful conservative perspective.
It also seems as if these writers are all auditioning to be the next faux house conservative at WaPo or NYT. If they display enough hate for Tea Party types and patriots, they get the brass ring and receive an all-expenses-paid invitation to the DC cocktail party circuit.
"Oh, hello Charles. Saw your piece about Palin. Welcome to the club."
National Review has become a joke...these writers are all auditioning to be the next faux house conservative at WaPo or NYT... Nailed it. I questioned Palin's credentials when she came on the scene. But she had more executive experience then McCain, Biden and Obama, combined! And she was a breathe of fresh air; she actually became a voice for many people who vote republican and who were being ignored by the establishment.
