My husband and I were transfixed when this all took place.

I’m looking forward to the movie.

Vidal was a self-hating person who had some good talent writing plays (I saw a couple of them and they were very good).

However, he was vicious to the point that he lost his humanity, while Buckley only lost his temper.

Today, few people remember Vidal. Many more remember Buckley for his intellectualism, his books, his defense of America.

Sometimes a little shit is just a little shit, and Vidal was such a guy. If he had been nicer, he would have been a more fascinating person to know and talk to.

Vidal had the looks of a male model and was impeccably groomed and unfailingly polite.

He looked like James Mason.

Buckley lost that exchange? The real Nazi and anti-Semite, Gore Vidal, called William Buckley a crypto Nazi. Buckley acted with manly firmness to the queer and threatened to put him in his place.

Incidentally, the late Gore Vidal's anti-Semitism has won praise from Pat Buchanan and his TAC magazine; however, Gore Vidal's anti-Semitism has also won praise from would be Reagan assassin, John Hinckley. In one of the most hilarious aspects of our sick culture, John Hinckley wrote from St. Elizabeth's that Gore Vidal was a great guy and not an anti-Semite. The sick praising the sick.
