Dan Browns worst sentences (or at least twenty of them) Sep 19, 2009
" Oh? What's the ultimate example, then? Because I think it's pretty much the ultimate example of _irony_ to read an article about someone who makes a fortune misusing words, then write a post complaining about that article that misuses a word in such spectacular fashion. Brown's a phenomenally bad writer, but a good ideas guy. It's the ideas that make him the bucks -- much like with J.K. "never met an adverb I didn't like" Rowling. Nothing wrong with that, but I definitely wish he'd proofread... (Harper's Magazine)

Paleocon Primer Aug 15, 2009
The bitterness of the NEH controversy was due not to the neocons pushing their own nominee, the totally unknown and laughably under-qualified William Bennett but to their complete lack of hesitation in smearing, lying about, and undermining Bradford at every opportunity. Scotchie deals briefly with the Bradford controversy, but I have to say, as one closely involved in supporting Bradford at the time, that he does not dwell sufficiently on the sheer evil and meanness of neoconservative conduct...

GOP: Obama timid Jun 22, 2009
" Grassley said. Former Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., said Obama isn't doing nearly enough, while conservative commentator William Bennett said Obama is bungling his response. Obama has tried to hold a middle ground as the crisis unfolds, and found the ground shifting by the day. His advisers say any thunderous denunciation of Iran's rulers would invite them to blame Western interference and might worsen the violence instead of end it. The death toll has neared 20 as shadowy militias and other... (AZCentral)

My colleague Bill Kristol said he was "open to the argument that the interests of conservative realignment could be furthered by the landslide victory of a moderate Republican." William Bennett urged Republicans to take a "very serious look" at Powell. Bennett observed: "There are some in our party saying, 'No, we shouldn't.' Which seems to me to be crazy. ... There is a very serious move to sort of purge the ranks of people who aren't quite pure enough. ... For God's sake, a man like this... (Orangeburg Times and Democrat, SC)
his Nightline confession was a second edifice of lies May 9, 2009
It's silly to say "he's just a private citizen"--he's much less of a "private citizen" than, say, William Bennett was in 2003 when and torpedoed Bennett's career by revealing his gambling habits. What makes the scandal awful and unpleasant--as opposed to the Bennett scandal, which was --is that Edwards has a very ill wife. (Slate)
