Yet more proof that enlightenment doesn’t strike twice in the same place.

the movie of his book, Thank You For Smoking, was excellent.

His trashing of conservatives and Palin, however, proves he is a Dooosh bag.

“...when the universe hands you material like this...”

Absolutely inane.

Christopher Buckley is simply the new Ron Reagan.

Christopher Buckley knew he was venturing into treacherous territory when he endorsed Barack Obama: "It's a good thing my dear old mum and pup are no longer alive. They'd cut off my allowance," he wrote.

More proof of what Ben Franklin said about the sons of great men-—they are only half what their parents were. In Chris Buckley’s case, both parents must have passed on their recessive genes.

Okay, having read that item, between Christo and Gore Vidal...Gore is still by far in more dire need of a buttkicking.

Christopher Buckley doesn’t get it. Those of us who read and admired Bill Buckley did so because of what he wrote and how he wrote it. His flaws as a parent and person are totally irrelevant.

Maybe the folks cut sonny out of the will. He’s sure being a brat about something. Maybe he and Gore Vidal are an item.

Wonder if Chris will mention the infamous exchange bteween William F. & that insufferable scrawny slut, Gore Vidal...

Buckley: "I'm for ostracizing people who egg on other people to shoot American Marines and other American soldiers..."

and,

"Now listen, you queer. Stop calling me a crypto Nazi, or I’ll sock you in your goddamn face and you’ll stay plastered."

After C Buckley trashed Sarah Palin, I was done with him.

Although I’m confident C. Buckley is a very bright fellow, few would give a rip about him — or even have heard OF him — if his name were Christopher Smith.
