Entry: Remembering WFB Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/remembering_wfb#22700 Post contents: Buckley was a loser in the end, he helped lead conservatism and the nation to the disastrous state they now are in. He wasn't interested in politics because that involves the sweaty little people below, he was only interested in the interests of his class, which explains why he got along so well with members of the liberal establishment, whose company he often preferred as long as they were among the powerful, and he was quick to dump friends and comrades who threatened his access to the Royal Liberal Court. Effete is the word that comes to mind. From rebel to courtier to courtesan. Sent at: 2008 11 23
