RIP, James J. Kilpatrick

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
I love James J. Kilpatrick's columns and have profited by his book Fine Print. I just ordered a used copy of his reminiscences of living in rural Virginia. Recently learning he died, I'm sad. Here's his last column. Is the Court of Peeves, Crotchets & Irks no longer going to be in session?

Robert Nedelkoff calls him a "monument to a vanishing age of punditry."

Here's an excellent informal piece of the Old Lion--he was very skeptical about the blogs--by Seattle Times's John Hamer, who 20 years earlier had received an encouraging note by a man who once was the most syndicated political columnist in the country.

But I laughed viewing this, the classic SNL spoof of Kilpatrick's work on 60 Minutes.
