William F. Buckley's Son Endorses Obama
Another nice get for Tina Brown's Daily Beast in its first week of existence: Christopher Buckley, son of conservative godfather William F. Buckley, is endorsing Barack Obama for president.
"It's a good thing my dear old mum and pup are no longer alive," he writes. "They'd cut off my allowance." (Wow, it was really not the right week for you to make that joke, Chris.)
Buckley -- who insists he remains a "small-government conservative" -- says he chose to make his pro-Obama stand on the Beast rather than in National Review, where he's a columnist, after watching his Review colleague Kathleen Parker get buried in hate mail after she expressed doubts about Sarah Palin's readiness for high office.
"I don't have the kidney at the moment for 12,000 emails saying how good it is [William F. Buckley]'s no longer alive to see his Judas of a son endorse for the presidency a covert Muslim who pals around with the Weather Underground," Buckley writes. "So, you're reading it here first."
