I think you’re selling George way too short. He’s smart, consistent, and unemotional in his assessments. He does not spare Beltway “faves” any more than he does outsiders. He looks for truth, and more often than not tends to find it. I don’t always agree with him, but after 35 years of reading his columns, I respect his judgment.
George Will said “Sarah Palin should not be trusted with nuclear weapons.” Just one of the many idiotic things he’s been saying these past few years. Indeed, I used to value his opinion, back in the Brinkley days. Now, with quotes like the above, he is beyond worthless to me. Just another beltway scumbag.

Praying he will look at Herman Cain! We believe Herman Cain is closer to the truth than any other person running. He has our support. Wouldn’t vote for ANY of the others (especially Romney or Perry).
So do I. I disagree with him sometimes, but, as you say, I respect his judgement and the disagreements often cause me to think about my own positions. That's what a good pundit does.
And his writing is pretty good stuff, too.
