Shame. Smartest guy I ever heard. He was so smart it was almost spooky.
RIP.

This is truly a loss for our society and our Country. Mr. Buckley was one of the most intelligent and erudite defenders of conservative philosophy. Rest in peace Mr Buckley, you will be sorely missed.

He’s likely having a good long conversation with St. Peter, much to St. Peter’s pleasure, I am sure. ;-)
He will be missed as will his unique ability to provide insight on some complicated issues and people and do it gracefully and tastefully.

Chris Dodd on CNN just now gave his gracious condolences to William Buckley and his family.
Surprising, for a radical lib democrat, like Dodd. His supporters on DU are probably jumping for joy.

He's the guy that got me thru the 60's and 70's when every other political pundit seemed, well, obviously insane. For about 30 years, he carried the conservative movement on his broad shoulders.
Things don't look really good for conservatism now. But compared to when he wrote "God and Man at Yale," we are light years further along--largely because of his efforts. He had the courage to stand up and be the ONLY non-big-government, non-Keynesian in the room and to do it with wit and charm. And, the courage to keep doing it for years on end.
On a personal note, I never met him. But we have mutual acquaintances. People who knew him well invariably described him as a gentleman and a devout Christian. He is undoubtedly sitting in a place of honor today. RIP, WFB, Jr.

Great Loss for Conservatives.
Irreplaceable.
Liberals feared debating this man!
