I know I’m late with this, but nobility should never be ignored. George Will, whom I have almost endlessly berated in this blog for a good ten years, just hit one out of the park with a juicy little missive titled “Vote against the GOP this November”. So go read it.

George Will would rather write about the Black Death than Donald Trump
Well, you can hardly blame the man, can you? The Donald’s current reign of t/error is a lot less palatable than the centuries-old horror that reduced Europe’s population by a solid 25% back in the fourteenth century. But after you get past Georgie’s first paragraph, his current think piece becomes less a history lesson than…
Barack Obama ignorant of history, says George Will, ignorantly
George F.—“F for Fabulous!”—Will has his definitive take on the proposed nuclear agreement with Iran. Like 97% of George’s columns, the real point here is not to say anything substantial about anything, but rather to allow George to look down his presumably Georgian nose at his inferiors, said inferiors, of course, being just about everyone…
Two-parent families iz da bomb, says Ramblin’ George Will
There is an old saying in journalism: “Always write the same piece three times.” George F. Will has modified that bit to read “Write the same piece on the Moynihan Report seventy-three times.” George’s latest reiteration of Daniel Patrick’s timeless wisdom on prosperity and family structure (which does hold up pretty well) can be found…
George Will, pissy, prissy, and probably prescient
George Will—or “George F. Will,” as they like to call him at the Gabbing Geezer—when he isn’t sniffing and harrumphing over the “unraveling” of the Obama administration, sometimes gets it right. A case in point is a recent column on the administration’s recent agreement with Iran regarding its nuclear program. After directing a variety of…
Why George Will will never run out of copy
Whenever George Will feels like phoning it in, which is every other week or so, he will find a radical feminist to make fun of. Fortunately for George, they just keep coming. A case in point is an unintentionally hilarious twofer at the New Republic, an idiot review of an idiot book, Ann Friedman’s take…
George Will, tying himself in knots, yet failing to score a touchdown
I find myself agreeing with George Will more often than I like. We are a one on free trade, for example, as well as campaign “reform” (aka incumbent protection and First Amendment reduction). I also admire his early criticism of President Obama’s decision to expand the war in Afghanistan, although his massive silence on civil…
George Will, hittin’ on Mitt
George Will—that’s George F. Will to you, pretty boy—has been getting a lot of mileage out of this column, making fun of Mitt Romney, for not knowing whether he thinks ethanol subsidies are a good idea or not. Well, I’m sorry. Making fun of a politician with presidential aspirations for not knowing whether he likes…
George Will: Eating words if not mincing them
Over at the American Conservative, which is not entirely All Pat Buchanan, All the Time—and Pat, as the only living American Falangist, deserves more respect than he gets—Daniel Larison has a chuckle over George Will’s discomfiture over the “circus” known as the Ames straw poll. Last March, George announced, in the sort of neo-Burkean harumph…
George Packer, Packin’ the Con in “Neocon”!
I’ve never actually met George Packer, but I have read him, in the current issue of the Atlantic, so I’ll go out on a limb and say I can probably throw him farther than I can trust him. Yes, I am hip to old Georgie’s jive, right from the get-go—right from his “head”, as a…
