Conservative commentator Paul Harvey dies

Radio commentator Paul Harvey died Saturday at the age of 90.

You may have heard Harvey's commentaries, because in some markets they ran on unlikely stations. He was known for his surprise-ending anecdotes and old-fashioned monotone.

Although Paul Harvey's political conservatism was often just as untenable as that of more modern commentators, he did have a few bright spots. For instance, when Harvey abandoned his support of the Vietnam War, he became known for this memorable criticism of Nixon: "I love you, Mr. President. But you're wrong."

Contrast that against the media chorus that went along with everything Bush did, and it becomes clear how far the medium declined in 35 years.
