Conservatives Eat Their Young????

In this case, they’re eating their “Old”!  Check out these comments from Ann Althouses blog concerning the general discontent brewing within Republican ranks, specifically the stalwart Conservative opinion magazine National Review Online, concerning the possibility of a Newt Gingrich nomination!

And what do the establishment hacks at NRO — in the tank for the Weasel last time and in the tank now — have to say about all of the Republicans who have served in Congress since Newt left??

Spineless, weak, ineffectual disasters. Yeah, they’ve really done a bang-up job — just look at where the country is today. And they did nothing to stop it.

Or

“National Review has never had a gigantic circulation and has always been a money loser, but it has some of the best conservative commentary in print or in pixels. Yes, I’m an unabashed fan of it because of the quality of its content.”

Well good for you. Anyone who’s old -and conservative enough- knows NR lost its fastball about 15 years ago. Its irrelevant and has been ever since the “girly men” fired Coulter.

So its a quality magazine, so what, some think the New Republic and the New Yorker are quality too. They just aren’t conservative and neither is NR.

And

Sadly NRO has zero credibility as a Conservative magazine. I doubt many Republican voters care.

When National Review is not “Conservative Enough”… Uhm… Houston… We have a problem! I’m thinking this is a pretty good Conservative “Jump The Shark” moment!
