Before Donald Trump became a thing, Kevin Williamson wrote for National Review and I really liked his writing.

Here's his own pull-quote in his Dispatch article about Haitians and cats:

“You can send little J.D. to Yale to make him polished, you can send him to Silicon Valley to make him rich, and you can send him to the Senate to make him powerful, but you cannot stop him from being what it is he apparently wants to be: Cleetus the Gap-Toothed Twitter Troll.”

The Kevin Williamson I used to enjoy would never have written anything so juvenile. He's a parody of his old self, and it's a disgrace.
