S.E. Cupp and the Freezing of the Conservative Mind

Columnist disses Rush while misreading Reagan and Lee Atwater. - Jeffrey Lord/American Spectator

Grow Up, S. E. Cupp - J. Robert Smith/American Thinker
I would add to Lord's remarks that Cupp's career largely hinges on celebrity -- celebrity, a totem of the modern age. People who make their livings off celebrity have a need to stay current, stay in the public eye. Picking a fight with Limbaugh, the dean of conservative talkers, particularly in a New York Times interview, is a nice little publicity gambit for a reputed young conservative. The liberal media eats up apostasy on the right.
