[Reverend_Smitty]

[the Kelly Gang]

1. I second that !

[BeachBuckeye]

2. He is going to be on "The Guy James Show" tomorrow

[nostamj]

3. he's on Guy James tomorrow

3-6pm EST

www.theguyjamesshow.com

and our very own god_bush_n_cheney is quoted at length in his latest book, IMPERIAL AMERICA

and Bev Harris gets a nice mention too!

[indigobusiness]

4. His guts led the pack in the dark, early days

of the Bush masquerade.

[candy]

5. He's still around? Too bad.

I always thought he was an arrogant,supercilious,snob who would never do anything that would dirty his hands.

[nostamj]

6. well, what an arrogant,supercilious,snobbish comment

you've obviously never read a word he's written.

stick with Hop on Pop. you shouldn't stretch yourself further than your president...

[candy]

7. Hop on Pop? I have no idea what you mean.

As far as Vidal's writings go,of course I've read some of them and he's a very bright man,but not a Democrat as I take the word Democrat to mean.

I doubt if he has had much contact with the "working man" except as servants and waiters.

[nostamj]

9. Hop on Pop = beginner's Dr. Suess

and I still say you haven't read a WORD.

start with PERPETURAL WAR FOR PERPETUAL PEACE, DREAMING WAR and IMPERIAL AMERICA

if you stopped at Myra Breckenridge, you kinda missed the (political) point...

as for his contact with the 'common man' - he SERVED in WWII.

so he's very successful... you're the still the snob.

on edit: DUH! you're candy crowley! that explains everything...

[Moochy]

8. choke on some candy?

Woo wishing folks dead is fun! Feel the love

[candy]

10. I didn't mean I wished him dead for God's sake---

I meant is he still around shooting his mouth off.

I thought he was living in a villa in Italy.

[proud patriot]

11. Nope He's come back to live in America

to fight the good fight alongside us .
I for one am glad he's still around .

[supernova]

12. Showing off your intelligence

is sexy. And Gore Vidal is very sexy. :D

[candy]

13. That theory makes his archenemy William F Buckley Jr sexy-

and I doubt if you can call him sexy.

[supernova]

15. He is in a way

I have no beef with Buckley. At least he presents the conservative view intelligently. His only modern equal is David Gergen.

All the other righty screamers are just pissing in their coffee cans.

edit: Articulateness and debating skills count with me. And I really am confused about the right's embrace of ignorance as a virtue. :shrug:

[candy]

17. The Vidal-Buckley debates were some of the most memorable

moments in history.

[LibertyorDeath]

16. William F Buckley Jr is a shit stain on humanity

[supernova]

18. But he's not a neocon

they are the enemy of humanity right now.

Buckley just golfs too much.

[LibertyorDeath]

21. I know but he is such a pretentious shit IMO

[supernova]

24. Pretentious is the least of our worries

right now.

We've got to get these criminals not just out of office but in jail. I want this neocon movment out of power... permanently.

[LibertyorDeath]

14. No Soup For You....2Years

Bush is an

" arrogant,supercilious,snob who would never do anything that would dirty his hands."

Now that's more like it


you are not fit to wipe his supercilious ass

you know not of which you speak

[candy]

19. Wow! A little short on tolerance of diversity of opinion aren't you?

[LibertyorDeath]

20. A little short on tolerance of diversity of opinion LOL

Got more like that.

Lets all pause for a stiring rendition of CUMBYA

[candy]

22. You mean "Cumbaya"?

And yes,I've got a lot more like that.

[terrya]

29. You mean "Kumbaya"?

[nostamj]

25. an attitude is not an opinion

Vidal is peerless in his understanding of American history and politics. and his passion and courage in assaulting the bushies with the depth of that knowledge is matched only, perhaps, by Robert Byrd.

you... well, you've exposed your shallowless quite clearly.

all the depth of a snail's trail.

on edit: minor typos

[LibertyorDeath]

26. nostamj if I only had your way with words

That's exactly what I wanted to say :)

[nostamj]

27. well, Vidal has been a literary/political hero of mine

for over 30 years...

I try to rise to his defense with some tiny measure of rhetoric.

[terrya]

28. Oh, please. Vidal is one of the most important liberal voices we have.

Were you planning to invite him to your next beer bust or something?

[Gildor Inglorion]

23. I really, really love and admire Mr. Vidal...

always have, always will. He says everything I wish I'd said, but says it better than I ever could!
