Stan – I am a fan of both Woods’ and Will’s, and I look forward to reading Peter’s book. But I think it’s also worth noting that there are few arguments which are more likely to win a sympathetic hearing from George Will than the idea that politics has become uncouth and dominated by the ill-tempered. That doesn’t mean Will wasn’t persuaded on the merits, but Will’s high Tory style, his coolness toward many quarters of the conservative movement and his general gentlemanliness make him a soft touch for those kinds of laments.
