My Take
George Will is the kind of commentator I respect even when I would argue with him, and that is the highest compliment I can pay a columnist. A Pulitzer at the lectern of opinion writing and the Wall Street Journal calling him the most powerful journalist in America are not accidents; they reflect decades of disciplined, literate argument. His Oxford-trained conservatism is intellectual rather than reflexive, and his willingness to break with his own side over principle has always struck me as the mark of a serious thinker. In an era of shouting, Will's measured, sentence-by-sentence craftsmanship feels almost old-fashioned, and I mean that as praise.
