We are devastated to report William F. Buckley Jr.'s passing.A decent MSM obit here. The editors of National Review here. Impromptu tributes galore here. And much more to come.
Update: Go back to the corner for more, more, more. ninme has the President's spontaneous remarks at a presser, plus many other links, themselves with links. What jumps out from all the spontaneous tributes is how many of them end like this:
"Legend he was, but in a small group, it was always Bill who rushed to get a chair for the person left standing. It was always Bill who reached to fill your glass." (I can attest to him doing both of these things for me in the last six months.)Or
It need hardly be said that few men are great. But even fewer great men are so good.
