Damn shame. Smart guy. He was 96.93% of FNC’s brain power.

He wrote probably the most well thought out article on how Republicans need to handle "women"
A little bit funny a little bit sarcastic and always insightful and informed

He wasn't afraid to call Rush Limbaugh an idiot and marginalize the nutty Right

His kind of Republican is long gone
George Will and Krauthammer both enjoyed tangling with Limbaugh

Guys worth listening to like Buckley, Krauthammer, and Will are being replaced by twerps like Tucker Carlson. :ohno:

Ironically he started out a donk. Worked in the Carter White House, was a speech writer for Mondale, wrote for the New Republic & Washington Post. He didn't evolve over to the conk side until the 80s after being heavily influenced by Reagan..

No more Buckley. No more Krauthammer.

Oh well, at least we still have Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck.

My personal favorite column of his. :D
I was puzzled. Lots of coverup, but where was the crime? Not even a third-rate burglary. For six months, smoke without fire. Yes, President Trump himself was acting very defensively, as if he were hiding something. But no one ever produced the something.

My view was: Collusion? I just don't see it. But I'm open to empirical evidence. Show me.

The evidence is now shown. This is not hearsay, not fake news, not unsourced leaks. This is an email chain released by Donald Trump Jr. himself. A British go-between writes that there's a Russian government effort to help Trump Sr. win the election, and as part of that effort he proposes a meeting with a "Russian government attorney" possessing damaging information on Hillary Clinton. Moreover, the Kremlin is willing to share troves of incriminating documents from the Crown Prosecutor. (Error: Britain has a Crown Prosecutor. Russia has a Prosecutor General.)

Donald Jr. emails back. "I love it." Fatal words.

Once you've said "I'm in," it makes no difference that the meeting was a bust, that the intermediary brought no such goods. What matters is what Donald Jr. thought going into the meeting, as well as Jared Kushner and then-campaign manager Paul Manafort, who were forwarded the correspondence, invited to the meeting, and attended.

"It was literally just a wasted 20 minutes, which was a shame," Donald Jr. told Sean Hannity. A shame? On the contrary, a stroke of luck. Had the lawyer real stuff to deliver, Donald Jr. and the others would be in far deeper legal trouble. It turned out to be incompetent collusion, amateur collusion, comically failed collusion. That does not erase the fact that three top Trump campaign officials were ready to play.

It may turn out that they did later collaborate more fruitfully. We don't know. But even if nothing else is found, the evidence is damning.
