NOW WE'LL NEVER GET TO KNOCK BACK BREWSKIS WITH W.F.B.

Good point made today by a New York Times letter writer, on the Barack Obama "elitism" question:

...have the conservatives succumbed to amnesia as to forget that their movement was singlehandedly crafted by the blue blood William F. Buckley Jr.?

Yes, how good was Buckley's bowling anyway? How often did he wander into bars and drink boilermakers with guys from the steel mills?

Would any of the folks who damned the "elitist" Obama within weeks of penning gushing Buckley eulogies (I'm talking to people like you, George Will) care to respond?

****

Meanwhile, I see that this shirt is being advertised on the Drudge Report:



I wonder if the check for that ad buy goes to Drudge's $1.4 million Mediterranean-style stucco house on Rivo Alto Island in Miami or his $1-million-plus condominium in Miami's Four Seasons hotel.
