That idiot right there, Rich Lowry, is responsible for the pending demise of NR. Controlled flight into terrain - he flew it into the ground.
Recall he and the rest of the NR cabal had a bad case of Palin Derangement Syndrome long before they caught TDS. I recall a smug editorial he wrote then that said, basically, adios to readers if they didnt appreciate their Palin-bashing. Cancelled my subscription after 20 years and they never got another dime from me.
