Haha, Fuck You National Review

Christopher Buckley, son of conservative scholar-king and all-around terrible person William F Buckley, just resigned from the National Review, a piece of shit paper for retards. All this stems from a pile of heat he received for endorsing Obama over McCain. Select pro-quote:

"While I regret this development, I am not in mourning, for I no longer have any clear idea what, exactly, the modern conservative movement stands for. Eight years of “conservative” government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance. As a sideshow, it brought us a truly obscene attempt at federal intervention in the Terry Schiavo case."

What I really like about this quote is that he immediately follows it with this nugget:

So, to paraphrase a real conservative, Ronald Reagan: I haven’t left the Republican Party. It left me.

Hmm, yes, Reagan, a real conservative, a man with an administration bereft of questionable foreign policy, lacking in money-sinking programs, and entirely and utterly without any expansion of the national debt.

In response, I had this to say:
