Only good writer at National Review gets all huffy about a trivial aside

June 2, 2015 By Kathy Shaidle

Kevin D. Williamson really didn’t like my Taki’s piece about National Review, but he chose THE weirdest thing about it to single out for derision:

Somebody should tell this genius that all of our regularly schedule copy appears at 4 a.m. Eastern. https://t.co/E7MgTztthr

Because, hey, total strangers all know about magazines’ publishing schedules.

Look: it was a goofy aside that, in the larger scheme of the whole piece, was a tiny bit of colour that made my sentence sound slightly better.

Is that really all you’ve got, Kevin D. Williamson Who I Use To Think Was Smarter and Better Than This?

You don’t have anything to say about William F. Buckley allegedly covering up for a liberal celebrity pedophile, then?

Or about why you guys let a marquee writer leave?

M’kay. Thanks for the hits, though!

(Anyhow, Mark Steyn linked to it, so there’s that…)

UPDATE: Oh, he’s back, stamping his other foot!

@kshaidle @LuckyEatAnter I’m not much moved by praise from third-rate fanatics writing for fifth-rate fanatics.
