George Effing Will

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/st-louis-dispatch-drops-george-will-rape-column

George Effing Will and his bow tie have been a fixture of DC punditry for decades.  He - or more likely his bow tie - has been the voice of "Mainstream Conservatism" on countless panel shows and gabfests.

In the past few months he has become a climate change denier and insinuated that being raped confers some sort of special status on the victims.  This has gotten him dropped from one paper already.

I would, however, argue that denying global warming and downplaying the trauma of rape simply means that George Will remains the voice of "Mainstream Conservatism" in 2014.
