It's unbelievable that Christopher Buckley has been asked to clean out his cubby at the magazine his father founded—"briskly'' allowed to resign for the sin of endorsing Obama. Where the National Review thinks it'll find another writer who can throw around Jane Austen's favorite verb quite the way he does, I aver I don't know. (See? Not even close.) But apparently, even they can't have any damn intellectuals hanging around thinking outside the talking points. Isn't the point of any debate—political or otherwise—that you don't know where an open mind will take you? Hardly worth the trouble if you're required to wind up the same place every single time.
