If Kimball ever had any hopes of being taken as a serious intellectual, he’s flushed them permanently down the crapper by endorsing this meretricious piece of trash. The reputation of his magazine goes down with it. The National Review is a joke too. I sort of wish there were some serious conservatives around — god knows the world needs all the intellectual diversity it can get — but all we get are buffoons without a shred of integrity, willing shills for whatever evil nonsense is dished out by the Republican spin machine.

I understand this doofus had a career as an art critic prior to becoming a stooge. Shame that whatever merit that work might have had is permanently and irrevocably tarnished.
