With an attitude like this, Rich Lowry should wish they elected Democrats more often:
““I’m excited about going forward,” Mr. Lowry said. “There’s a lot of gallows humor. Every conservative I talk to is saying: ‘This is going to be great for you guys. Circulation is going to go up.’ ”
This is from the New York Times article on the Frumpurge. And the numbers don’t lie either apparently. Circulation went from 150,000 to 250,000 in a two-year period after Clinton got elected.
You hear such talk in the talk-radio biz as well. After all, Clear Channel didn’t sign Rush Limbaugh to an eight-year contract recently gambling on a McCain election. They know who butters their side of the bread.
So please, for their sake and that of all conservative media, Vote Democrat!
I think Clinton was a special case. He galvanized conservatives like no other. NR has disgraced itself may times during the Bush II years and even its sycophantic reader have noticed.
And speaking of the Frum purge, is Ledeen going any time soon? The biggest stain on NR is its association with him.
