Jeez. A cynical man might conclude that Bennett never meant any of it, and was just saying words for money. And to hurt his political enemies, presumably.

The Bulwark seems to be the last bastion of American conservatives with integrity. Three cheers! Hip-hip...

A man didn't have to be cynical for that conclusion. Read about his professional career and you'll see that he never met any of the criteria he used for his book.

He has proven to be a total arrogant scumbag, e.g., he predated the Secessionist-In-Chief in handling the drug issue in America. Bennett stated on the Larry King Show that a caller's suggestion of beheading drug dealers would be "morally plausible. He also lamented that we still grant them [drug dealers] habeas corpus rights."

His favorite character from history must be Robespierre from the French Revolution, and from literature --- the Queen of Hearts from "Alice Through the Looking Glass"
