How The Right Cracked

Damon Linker makes a "a few observations about the factions forming on the intellectual right as it adjusts to life in the political wilderness." He tackles National Review, The Weekly Standard, and Commentary:

Oh sure, there are bright spots at all three magazines/websites: Jim Manzi's libertarian-minded commentary on economics and finance for NRO; Max Boot's historically informed posts on foreign affairs and military issues for Contentions; and best of all, Christopher Caldwell's carefully reported essays on various political and cultural topics for the Weekly Standard. But that's pretty much it for intellectual conservatism these day, at least in the places it used to thrive.
