William F. Buckley, Conservative Icon: Another View

Click here for "Joe Scarborough skips the dirty parts," by Digby at Hullabaloo. I used to read William F. Buckley's articles in the '80s. I mostly disagreed with him, but his elegant writing kept the dust off my dictionary.

Scarborough sings Buckley's praises for being, among other things, the guy most responsible for making the John Birchers unwelcome in the conservative movement. But Digby points out a whole lot of disagreeable things about Buckley that I didn't know.
