Walker Percy, Not Rush Limbaugh

I want to associate myself with Clark Stooksbury’s remarks, in which he wishes conservatives had Walker Percy rather than Rush Limbaugh to analyze Sandra Fluke’s peculiarity, and what a person like her says about our contemporary disorders.

By the way, I was talking the other day to a new friend, a Percy. I asked him if he was related to Walker. Of course he is; all the Percys around here are related. My subject said: “You ever read his stuff? He’s weird. You’d probably like him.” You got that right.
