Buckley Quits National Review

by AltHippo @ 5:02 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

NYT:

Mr. Buckley said he had “been effectively fatwahed by the conservative movement” after endorsing Barack Obama in a blog posting on TheDailyBeast.com; since then, he said he has been blanketed with hate mail at the blog and at the National Review, where he has written a column.

As a result, he wrote to Richard Lowry, the editor of the National Review, and its publisher, Jack Fowler, offering to resign, and “this offer was rather briskly accepted,” Mr. Buckley said.

While I don’t agree with Mr. Buckley often, or his father almost ever, I do appreciate their sense of elan. NRO is a creepy place occupied by hollow people.
