Almost Impressed

Freddie O’Connell catches conservative radio talker Phil Valentine at the Southern Festival of Books over the weekend:

Over the past few years, I have enjoyed or been pleasantly surprised by my encounters with several conservatives appearing out of context (Lou Dobbs, Newt Gingrich, Bill Haslam, Mark Norris, and now Phil Valentine to name a few) to the point that it’s disappointing to witness the pettiness and pandering that are so instrumental to our politics. Today’s session wasn’t a particularly inspiring discussion (and I was a little surprised that it was so lightly attended), but it was a surprising departure both from the book and the radio show.
