William F. Buckley R.I.P.

2395498137.jpgConservative writer William F. Buckley (on the left... smirk), who was as full of affectation as a bad drag queen, is dead. Even Bond villains look cuddly next to him. It's not good to debate Gore Vidal on TV and have audiences conclude that you were the gay one. Here's their notorious, nasty exchange.

Still, he was often funny and very smart. At one point, as the joke goes, Laugh-in offered to fly him out to Hollywood to appear on the show, but they "couldn't find a plane with two right-wings." Buckley even laughed at that one. What a slap in the face that someone so learned (a quality not on display in the clip) had to watch impotently as the torch was passed to a complete nincompoop like Bush.

Did the world just end, or did I hear a faint praise for a conservative from Johnny Jpeg....

I'm always impressed by an actual working mind. There just aren't any in the GOP. (and nearly as few in the Dem party for that matter.)

Ex film-critic and radio mouthpiece/Neo-Con apologist Michael Medved is also very well-informed. He's like an encyclopedia, but he clearly works backwards from party-approved boilerplate to construct his completely unethical, partisan arguments... and, it goes without saying, he's an asshole.

So don't fret, I still depsise conservative public figures. Some just have more refined minds than others. Dennis Paeger and Michael Regan are two of the dumbest.. waaaaaay at the bottom of the gene pool.

I'm with you on this one John.

They stopped making this model of asshole far too soon.
