How the Mighty Have Fallen
I took part of my lunch break today to meander over to the National Review's Corner for a little schadenfreude in the wake of McCain's primary victories last night. And while there was plenty of that, it just served to remind me that the Corner is populated by total idiots these days. This isn't a judgment based on policy disagreements (which are infinite), but based on the fact that their hive-mind can't seem to be bothered to make a coherent argument most of the time. Any group that spends the morning debating the merits of George Allen vs. Phil Gramm as Treasury Secretary should not be taken seriously.
At one time, the National Review was the intellectual center of movement conservatism, racist warts and all. Now it's just a bunch of really dumb hacks. Sad, I guess, but I can't seem to muster a tear.
