Riding The Coat Tails Of The Left
Like so many of the Official Right, Will earned his spot in the mainstream media by attacking his own side. In his case, he was a rabid Nixon hater. That made him useful to the Left and got him a job in the Washington Post Writer’s Group and eventually a TV gig. He was also no fan of Reagan, but once it became clear that Reagan was going to be successful, Will shifted gears and became a Reaganite.
It’s a bit ironic that at the end of Will’s career, he finds himself back where he started. Nixon, for all his faults, which were many, was a Dirt People candidate. In 1968 you voted for Tricky Dick because he was willing to punch the hippies and their Ivy League commie enablers. Guys like George Will and the other members of Team Buckley hated Nixon for it. Just like we see with Trump, the Buckleyites claimed their principles prevented them from embracing Nixon, but it was never principles, it was class. Nixon was not their sort. here….

George Will is one of those reporters of opportunity. He picks sides when it’s an opportunity to make money.
Will doesn’t know the meaning of the word conservative and has never been anything but a money grubbing journalist
Screw him. He’s an “Inside the Beltway” type. He’s part of the ruling class that’s against us in the country class. He still wants to be invited to the right parties, hobnob with the elites, be with ‘in’ crowd. I don’t believe he has any principles now, nor has he ever.
If he did have principles, he wouldn’t have tolerated the 4-6 liberals lined up against him on This Week Without David Brinkley!!
George Will…what?*
