Not just the car, but all the 'perqs' as well. GREEN-EYED MONSTER SYNDROME, apparently. I wonder if York ever had the vision and determination to go out into the big wide world and attempt to start a magazine of alternative thought AND secure funding for it. Throughout it's proud history, Tyrrell's brainchild gave shelter and platform to America's top conservative thinkers and readers. And even though some (like York) were on the margins of that conservatism, and some were even admitted liberals, the magazine was a suave representation of neocon culture. Looking at the BIG PICTURE, the sum total of the magazine's effect, like most noble and worthy enterprises, won't be appreciated for years to come. Hopefully by then many people will know just who R. Emmett Tyrrell was, but won't have a clue about Byron York.

I'm so tired of the finger-pointing if someone chooses conservative politics as the arena in which to make his fortune. As though it's okay for everyone in every other business to succeed and acquire the trappings of earned wealth, except conservatives.

To the patched-elbow crowd conservatives have to fail or risk being pecked to death by jealous contemporaries. I didn't think York was this petty. Maybe he was having a "Brock Moment" at his new job.

I disagree that York is only on the margins of conservatism. Have you read any of his National Review stuff? This guy is a true investigational journalist.

I will be watching, though. I hope I am not wrong about him.
