Mrs. Tilton comments, and introduces a remarkable word: NeodeMaistrite:

Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal: Francisco Franco Is Still Dead : Bruce Moomaw has it right. If you don't understand that there has always been a hardcore neodeMaistrite palaeo (palaeo? Archaeo!) RC conservatism at the heart of NR, then you don't understand NR. Buckley is actually relatively enlightened and civilised compared to some of his fellow-travellers. (There's a book in it for the strong-stomached sociologist willing to delve into the world of Rao, Wilhelmsen, Bozell père etc.)

NR is and has always been a vile pusfilled sore. In the past, though, it had at least some better and more interesting writers than it does today. That's 'interesting' in the Chinese-curse sense, mind...

"NeodeMaistrite" is the best new word I have heard all year long.
