 A Distasteful Encounter with William F. Buckley Jr., by Gore Vidal
Buckley hosts a television program and conducts it with a flourish and a zest, with such brilliant gestures and hand movement, that Gore Vidal is reported to have called him ‘the Marie Antoinette of American politics.’" Now to include Buckley in a list of homosexuals is doubtless slanderous.
Buckley does indeed like to give the impression that he is "the tablet keeper of history:" for the movers and shakers, and his journalism is filled with little anecdotes as to how Reagan introduced him as a speaker one night in California, or "I have had exclusive interviews with Mr.
Buckley is not of course a "pro crypto Nazi" in the sense that he is a secret member of the Nazi party (and I respond to Buckley's charming apology to me with mine to him if anyone thought I was trying to link him to Hitler's foreign and domestic ventures).

 Hit and Run
Comment by: Henry at October 26, 2004 04:15 PM Buckley's stylistic sins aside, your hotdog analogy is stuffed full of straw.
A professor of mine pointed out to me, back during the first gulf war, that you could get a lot of insight into how clueless the protest crowd was by substituting the phrase "the basis of the world's economy" for "oil" in any of their rants.

 Blogcritics.org: The Fall of the Berlin Wall by William F. Buckley
In less than 200 pages William F. Buckley introduces the reader to the events, ideas, and personalities behind the 28-year history of the concrete and barbed wire division that separated Berlin; and in many ways symbolized the separation between East and West.
Buckley lightly and quickly orients the reader to his subject by touching on the history of Berlin - its development and organization - and its leaders.
Buckley describes the issues and conflicts that pushed Berlin to the center of events and traces how leaders and politicians from both sides of the conflict responded to crises like the Berlin blockade, the Cuban Missile Crisis and Khrushchev's constant threat of negotiating a separate treaty with East Germany.

 Lundberg: Chapter II
The encyclical, the Buckley concession-heir pronounced, was "a venture in triviality" and was not sufficiently alert to "the continuing demonic successes of the Communists." If these latter and their dupes have successes in odd corners of the world, life will manifestly be difficult for Pantepec.
Buckley himself in 1961 organized the American Committee for Aid to Katanga Freedom Fighters, which had the ring in its name of an old-fashioned Communist front group.
   The otherwise inexplicable Buckley infatuation for Moshe Tsbombe is readily understood the moment one recalls that Tshombe was the native proconsul in Katanga Province for the Union Minière du Haut Katanga, S.A., of Belgium, envied concession-holder to the rich mineral lands of the Congo.
