George Will Tears Into Bill O’Reilly’s Reagan Book

Billo is full of shit per usual? Shocking, I know.

He calls the book a “tissue of unsubstantiated assertions” and calls it another symptom of “today’s cultural pathology of self-validating vehemence with blustery certitudes substituting for evidence.”

The book’s perfunctory pieties about Reagan’s greatness are inundated by its flood of regurgitated slanders about his supposed lassitude and manipulability. This book is nonsensical history and execrable citizenship, and should come with a warning: “Caution — you are about to enter a no-facts zone.”

The pomposity level goes up to 11 when you've been living in a bubble for as long as George Will.

that he's the rightful heir to William F. Buckley. Unfortunately he's no where near as smart or quick.
