WFB is an amazing intellectual ! I will never forget all of his interviews with Malcolmn Muggeridge ! They were some of the best interviews of all time !

I just emailed my friend the same thought. I loved hearing Muggeridge and Buckley discuss religion. They had such clear minds. I had the pleasure of hearing Muggeridge speak many, many years ago. What a gentle soul. I still miss "Firing Line" and especially the political debates. They were very cordial and yet spirited debates.

"With the benefit of minute hindsight, Saddam Hussein wasn't the kind of extra-territorial menace that was assumed by the administration one year ago," Mr. Buckley said. "If I knew then what I know now about what kind of situation we would be in, I would have opposed the war."

The old light bulb glows a little dimmer.

Bill Buckley and NR are the reasons I switched from being a Kennedy liberal to a conservative.

btw:One of my favorite books of all time is his 'The Unmaking of a Mayor' a book he wrote about his run for mayor of NYC in 1969-it's hilarious.
