Ah, a recent quote from Mr. Fleming:

George W. Bush was a screw-up in everything he did before having the presidency handed to him by a corrupt political conspiracy, and it came as no surprise that he screwed up the country in the eight years he spent pretending to govern.

My, what a refreshingly dissident insight!

What pure and limpid prose! It fairly trips off the tongue!

We are losing a Mencken, an Eliot, a Bierce!

If only the mainstream media that Fleming spent his entire career allegedly battling against had allowed similar sentiments to be expressed.

But no - nothing but praise and flattery for President Bush flowed from the pens of Paul Krugman, Richard Cohen, Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich, and the entire coastal establishment.

The man is truly a visionary.

My he never permit the postern to clatter against his posterior as he and his brilliant analysis make their grand exeunt.

I’ve always enjoyed reading Fleming and am glad to see he’ll remain active.

“Tom’s legacy will be, first, a publication that was willing to put its editorial hand on “third rail” political topics (such as massive immigration) when other magazines simply ducked.”
