We all knew that Charlie Sykes was a total toady for Bill "The Grift" Kristol.
Anton exposes Little Charlie "Three Wives."
...Bill [Kristol's] most prolific pit bull is Charles Sykes. I was an avid reader of Sykes’ books back in the late 1980s and early 1990s—especially The Hollow Men, among the best of a slew of volumes from that time exposing the miasma into which higher education was then sinking. (Things are much worse now.) Sykes authored, by my rough count, some eight genuinely conservative books—until he decided that “the right lost its mind” in voting for secure borders, better trade deals, and an end to pointless foreign war.
Sykes really isn’t that interesting anymore. I bring him up only because he was the source of Vanderbrouk’s (and later Bill’s) lie that I “called for violence” in my Philadelphia Society speech. These days anyway, Sykes is even less clever than Vanderbrouk, so it’s at least possible that he just didn’t understand what I said. I doubt that, though, because Sykes’ “second sailing” as a public intellectual is to be a feral attack dog against anyone and anything that offends his newfound liberal pieties. I’m unaware of anything even vaguely positive or constructive to come from his pen since Trump descended the escalator to announce his candidacy in 2015.
Vanderbrouk, I assume, has nothing better to do, but Sykes used to be a serious man....
Sykes grew up in a hard-Left family. I think he remained hard-Left, but figured out that the real money was in Conservative chatter, and he raked in a helluvalotta dough pretending to be "conservative." He even fooled Mark Belling, who is Wisconsin's premier cynic. That makes Sykes a pretty smart dude, but then, the traitor has to be smart or he winds up six feet under. (WAR reference, folks!!!)
"Used to be a serious man." That's an epitaph Charlie earned.
