Kraut hammers on

While Peggy descends into bathetic saccharine (I'm starting to agree with JJ that she is going gaga).

“Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes.”

This type of phrasing turned into a pet peeve when it came to grading Western Civ essays and term papers. "Did MFT get upset when students lengthened their papers with bullshit questions like this? No, but he did use the red pen more..."

Kraut is consistenty good and sometimes great. That NRO has him now worries me, though.

Why? I think NRO has gotten much better in the past 6 months or so -- one can make the case that it passed the Weekly Standard, say. With Steyn and VDH chipping in, too, it's getting turbo-charged. What is WFB saying?

On the other hand, WSJ is slippin': Taranto is still strong, but has slowed down after breaking a leg, while Peggy is going gaga, alas. (In all fairness, I owe JJ a 1/2 bottle of VCP on that score -- he identified the trend there much earlier than I. In the big scheme of things, though, I'm still 100+ jeroboams ahead.)

The Weekly Standard is a party organ as has NRO been. WS I find contemptible about 90% of the time I read anything from it. NRO similarly when it's not these new good people. Lowry I have no idea why you post.

I would hate for writers as good as Steyn and Kraut to become partisan hacks by association.

You're right that NRO has improved, though.

Kaus and Barone are the best these days, IMO.

Kaus is good. But he's yet another Harvard Law grad. We're drowning in those. Please, get me someone who's not from there!

Romney is some similar junk. McCain is best.

Romney went to Harvard Business School. Business=/=Law, JJ: they are located on opposite sides of the Charles.
