As for Buckley, his reasoning for supporting Obama is laughably shallow. Obama is going to enact huge tax increases and wealth redistribution programs and will be able to do so with a 60 seat Dem majority. Buckley believes he won't because of some nonsense about “temperament.” And it also seems like he believes the MSM propaganda about McCain turning “nasty” during the campaign. This is evidence of sheer, air-headed stupidity. Its amazing that something like Christopher Buckley could be produced by William F. Buckley but I guess history is full of examples of famous people producing duds as offspring.
K. Parker is still seething over the comments she receieved on her anti Palin column
“As for Buckley, his reasoning for supporting Obama is laughably shallow.”
THANK YOU!
That is it, exactly. I read that column, and I was astonished by its monumental vapidity. If he had said I support Obama for some serious reason(s), that would have been one thing. But that nonsense about “temperment” was ridiculous, and ridiculously naive. The fact is we know very little about Obama’s true temperment, plainly he is a great dissembler, arguably he’s an “empty suit”, and his smooth exterior is just not a compelling reason to support him. And on the other side of the scale, the I don’t like McCain, he sounds too mean (I paraphrase) was equally shallow.
The piece was like one written by a twelve year old girl to explain why she is switching “best friends”.
Really embarassing. I can’t imagine what is up with Christopher Buckley, but there was NOTHING in that article that was worthy of any kind of intellectual respect.
