And while Milo pretends to be an int’l intellectual, I doubt Flannery O'Connor is much on his wavelength. Brits don't think much about our greatest short story writers.
There is only so much naivete I can take on FR. You got it right with your Liberace remarks (and I predict Milo will follow along those lines). But I'm afraid as much as Milo would have us think he is ironic, he is sadly true to form for most wealthy gay men: narcissistic, flamboyant, cynical and shallow.
I agree with you.
I think there’s something fragile about him, but I don’t know how it’s going to manifest itself.
It is not naiveté. I never thought Milo was being ironic. He is very much stereotypical gay guy.
When I lived and worked in lower Manhattan, I eventually began to find gay guys , especially the Milo types, extremely grating on the nerves. But moving away for a good long while has eased that. Now I find the people who live around me now to be grating. But I'm just that way, and I am a personality snob.
I support Milo because of his fearlessness against the left. Weather you call it trolling, or being a contrarian or a drama queen, I don't care. He does what a lot of all-talk Freepers wouldn't do. He goes right into the lion's den and calls them out and wins fans in a demographic that actually counts.
