George Will has contributed mightily to the conservative movement in a scholarly role, like a professor to a student.

George Will has a place, but like so many beltway pundits he has narrow conditions for "acceptable" conservatism.

It is his equivalent "daisy ad" that LBJ ran against Barry Goldwater. Sarah Palin has been subject to intense ridicule, but this is the worst yet. She deserves better. The conservative movement deserves better.  Below is the video
