Wordsmith Award

The award today is a posthumous award, prompted by Kathleen Parker's choice of this William F. Buckley quote in her defense of Christopher Buckley and his declaration that he is voting for Obama.

"Radical conservatives in this country have an interesting time of it, for when they are not being suppressed or mutilated by Liberals, they are being ignored or humiliated by a great many of those of the well-fed Right, whose ignorance and amorality have never been exaggerated for the same reason that one cannot exaggerate infinity."

"...whose ignorance and amorality have never been exaggerated for the same reason that one cannot exaggerate infinity". I suspect there are many who never realized they'd just been insulted. And as Ms. Parker notes, "Fast-forward half a century, and the old is the new. " It's still true.
