But because he serves as editor of NR, he sometimes finds himself having to make tough leadership calls. Today, he has a must-read blog up on the whole Noonan/Parker/ Christopher Buckley/ Frum controversy.
Here is an excerpt, but read the whole thing:
"Now, I regret how some conservatives immediately question the motives of the critics of Palin, but it's equally regrettable that Noonan, Parker et al are portraying most conservatives as irrational thugs.

Read and judge for yourself. Is this calm, cool deliberation? Or hyperbole worthy of a peeved e-mailer?"
