I have to admit, in my wastrel youth, I was a big fan of Bill Buckley. It stemmed from my political awakening during a lost Convention coverage, when WFB debated Gore Vidal, and I think my politcal awakening stemmed from that point. My parents were moderate to liberal Republicans (it was POSSIBLE in that bygone time) and I sort of drifted into Republican politics. But, I got better.
Buckley hasn't changed, but whatever you think of him, he's Old Guard Republican, not of the new, neo-fascist ilk. And, I think, he is, however committed to his side, ultimately fair minded. His post on NRO demonstrates this admirably.
