RIP Jeane Kirkpatick

Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, an apostle of Reagan era conservatism and a hardass to whom her former American Enterprise Institute colleague, John Bolton, has been compared, has died.

I was not a particular fan of Ms. Kirkpatrick's, although she was the first woman US ambassador to the United Nations, which is pretty cool.
