Douchebag of the Week (August 8-14)
May William F. Buckley’s conservative soul rest in peace, but you have to love that the Wikipedia section devoted to National Review in “popular culture” contains a film that’s more than a quarter-century old.
Not that editor Rich Lowry doesn’t try to stay relevant, of course. As a matter of fact, TPMMuckraker reported on Aug. 11 that Lowry actually offered to help make a push for former Karl Rove aide/ex-“cager” Tim Griffin when the Bush Administration sought some positive spin when doing a little housecleaning that, oh, “raised doubts about the integrity of Department prosecution decisions.”
And then of course they asked, “Anyone better?”
We’re not entirely sure of the accuracy in “the Effete Douchebag Index” one actual National Review reader used while pleading for Lowry to be canned, but it’s encouraging to see that these things are being noticed.
