P. J. O'Rourke is 72 and it shows.  At his peak in the 

Reagan years of the 1980s, this old Republican Party

Reptile is still tilting at the windmill of 'classical

liberalism'.  Positively quixotic, isn't he?

Remember when P. J. O'Rourke was a 'Republican

Party Reptile'?  Well, now he's just another old Croc.

"I blew it. I used to be young and funny. Now I'm

just an old Reagan nostalgist who writes tired

prose for the Weekly Standard."

You thought P. J. O'Rourke was still alive.

Wrong!

It took raw courage, but Ben Domenech showed it when

he fearlessly plagiarized P. J. O'Rourke, earning as a result

a Real American Hero Patch.
