I’m with you on that. It’s nostalgia for a style of writing that never existed outside of a Bulwer-Lytton contest, as their politics is likewise reminiscent of a time that never was.

I’m sorry, but I read prose like that and I imagine some spotty little freak reading G. A. Henty and wanking, buying a mailorder deerstalker hat and perfecting his pose of the Last Gentleman Standing in the Ruins of Empire — British Empire, or at least as envisioned in Noel Coward’s parodies of it from 50 years ago. “kidney” indeed.</p> I suppose it is something to know that he is susceptible being impressed with the obvious if the obvious is dropped on his head from off the top of a tall building.

After all that usual horseshit about “only deranged, LW America and baby-haters could say bad things about Our Sarah” that was sweeter than sweet.
He wasn’t PC about it at all like Parker or Brooks, who keep trying to say nice things about her as they’re tearing thier hair out over how stupid she sounds .

I think it’s time to annoy Jonah Goldberg, until he’s gets pissy and acknowledges it. But even he shouldn’t be as embarrassed as Rich Lowery, and he’s the damn editor.

Palin is just dumb enough to be a true believer, and she will not be a successful corporate mouthpiece.

Absolutely. I’m glad the guy’s voting for Obama, but apart from his observations that McCain’s campaign has become a nightmare, I disagreed with pretty much everything in the article. Not least the soft-pedaling of the Keating Five stuff.
