thanking you for smoking, I suppose. They say genius skips a generation...his pushing for the messiah in ‘08 proves that.
(actually the movie ‘Thank You For Smoking’ was hilarious)
... or Peggy "Palin Derangement Syndrome" Noonan?
You mean ol’ T. Coddington van Voorhees IV, as IowaHawk parodied him? Who cares?
FWIW, he did issue a mea culpa. But come on. Obama was pretty candid about his leftism. These leftists-who-call-themselves-Republicans either don’t know they are lefties or are easily taken in by smooth talk (and in David Brooks’s case, a well-creased pantleg).
Persona non grata (and also non-matter-a).
Last week there’s an article about Obama’s Republican supporters from 2008 and what they think now. The author lists several names that he interviewed. I remember that Doug Kmiec still plans to vote for his Master despite claiming to be a Catholic. Buckley declined the interview.
I thought he croaked...no?
Hope he is only ‘fooled once’. Though; no excuses; for that error of thinking, the first time.
I wonder who cares or give a frig.
Who CB votes for this year isn't going to be an issue: you can only play that "Republican for the Democrat" card once without it getting stale and people pointing out that by now you already are a Democrat.
FWIW, "Sorry, Dad I'm Voting For Obama" was the name of the column, but "Dad" had already died months earlier. I don't know if reading it would have killed WFB or not, but Junior was playing it safe.
FWIW, another 2008 Obamican, William Weld, has endorsed Romney. Not sure Republicans actually want his endorsement or if it will do Romney any good.
Wick Allison, who was publisher of National Review in Buckley's day, has already endorsed Obama (after withdrawing and reinstating his 2008 endorsement -- guess he has a lot of time on his hands), as has Buckley colleague Jeffrey Hart.
he’s too busy smoking dope to bother....
He is voting for Obama and the liberation of perverts everywhere.
Bill Ayers? Christopher liked his book.
Wow, who knew Christopher Buckley was such an intellectual. He knows Latin and wears a fedora. He must be a big hit with the liberal elite at their cocktail parties
There’s no real secret about it; it’s just the usual celebrity media lockdown whenever one of their own is in rehab.
In this case, Buckley’s been in a clinic in Mexico for the past several months, where medical specialists are attempting to extract his head from his *ss.
Junior revealed himself and most of his colleagues at NR to be deuschbags.
Lowry told me and a lot of other long term NR subscribers to take a flying leap when we questioned their continuing support of Jr. I dropped
my 20 year subscription and never looked back.
I came to realize that WFB was a deuschbag too when I learned the story of Jr’s illegitimate child.
They are as relevant as Newsweak.
He was a dumbass then and will always be.
Maybe I am wrong, BUt I thought he died.
