wfb prediction time

the obvious prediction is that liberals will gloat at the death of william f. buckley. jonah goldberg goes a step further:
In the next few days, there will be a wave of liberals...who will use WFB's memory to beat up on today's conservatives...Liberals today bemoan how wonderful the conservatives of yesteryear were solely to lament how terrible they are today. The recent bout of Goldwater nostalgia on the left was a perfect example. The strange new respect liberals have for Ronald Reagan would be another. And you can be sure they will use Buckley to that effect too.
