Charles Krauthammer, famed Fox News \u201call-star,\u201d has died at the age of 68.<\/p>\n

Understandably enough, his colleagues have been effusive in their eulogizing of the man who has long been regarded as a sage of the conservative movement.\u00a0 Even while he lived, and long before he would be diagnosed with the disease that would end his life, no one in the Big Conservative media, even when they disagreed with him (over, say, Donald Trump), would argue with Krauthammer without first qualifying their remarks with assurances that they meant no disrespect to the good doctor.<\/p>\n

Krauthammer, doubtless, exemplified some true character excellences.\u00a0 He was intelligent, certainly, and, unlike many, Krauthammer had a calmness of mind that enabled him to be among the most articulate proponents of the ideas that he shared with his fellow partisans.\u00a0 Nor is there anyone who can fail to be moved by the determination, indeed, the courage, that a man must possess to become as professionally and personally accomplished as Krauthammer became despite the severe physical obstacles with which life burdened him.<\/p>\n

Yet these commendable attributes of his aside, as a well-known commentator, even a commentator who enjoyed the distinction of being a \u201cpublic intellectual,\u201d Krauthammer had a track record\u2014a record extending back decades\u2014that was less than stellar.<\/p>\n

In truth, it was abysmal.<\/p>\n

Had Krauthammer\u2019s not been among the more prominent faces of today\u2019s \u201cconservative movement,\u201d then we could safely ignore the hagiographical-type commentary that is now being cranked out on him.\u00a0 Since things are otherwise, however, the truth must be told.
