Video: William A. Rusher, RIP
Conversations host Harry Kreisler speaks with William A. Rusher, former publisher of the “National Review”
William A. Rusher, the long-time publisher of National Review has passed away.
I wrote this a few years ago:Flap remembers back in the 80’s when Rusher was the Publisher of the National Review and wrote a letter to Rusher about his book, The Rise of the Right. To Flap’s surprise I received a handwritten note in reply.
I understand he always handled his own correspondence.
- How to Win Arguments
- The Making of the New Majority Party
- The Rise of the Right,
- The Ambiguous Legacy of the Enlightenment
- Short Course on South Africa
An archive of his Townhall columns is here and the Claremont Institute here.
The conservative movement and I mourn his passing.

National Review to Sarah Palin: Stay Home and Bake Cookies
This photo provided by the U.S. Navy shows Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, left, and her husband Todd, addressing the crew of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, June 22, 2009
Normally I like Jonah Goldberg’s work but today he resumes the “in the tank” mentality for Mitt Romney at National Review in this piece.The subhead says it all:
A Letter to Sarah Palin
Stay home and do your job and your homework.
Please Jonah and National Review. Why don’t you just tell this “unqualified” Alaska Governor woman to just stay home and bake cookies.
Sure, you guys want Mitt Romney – and why that is – is due to the fact he has pumped money into your fledgling magazine and your careers, but sheesh. If Palin wants to run now or later – let her do it her way – even with all of the carping from the LEFT and Romney right.
I was disappointed in the National Review during the 2008 GOP Presidential season and continue to be. As a conservative voice of reason you have lost your way.

Photo of the Day: Girly-Man Arnold Schwarzenegger Ruins State of California
In fiscal matters Arnold Schwarzenegger has governed more like a Keynesian than a Friedmanite; in regulatory affairs, he governs more like a German socialist than an Austrianschool liberal. Today he is as much of an albatross for California Republicans as George W. Bush was on the national scene. The National Review March 9, 2009 coverArnold Schwarzenegger has been a DISASTER as Governor of California. And, to think his term does not expire until 2010.
What a mistake the California Republican Party made in recruiting Arnold to run in the recall election against Democrat failed Governor Gray Davis.
