Yes, my opinion of Andrew McCarthy has taken a 180 degree turn, from respect to total disrespect.
Sadly, I agree with Robert DeLong.
For many years, Andrew McCarthy was the only reason I continued to scan National Review Online several times a week.
I gave up on McCarthy almost at the same moment I gave up on Matt Drudge and the Drudge Report, which is where I started every day for more than a decade.
In their political prime, those two guys were irreplaceable assets in Conservative Media.
McCarthy has always been somewhat of a loser in my book, a typical Establishment hack who just loves the justice dept and defends almost everything they do.
His legal analysis is usually faulty, typical of former federal prosecutors.
