Great, another 9/11 "truther," just what we need! "Renowned" by whom? He's right about Dear Leader being over his head, but wrong about everything else. "...first intellectual president we've had in many years..." I thought President Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar? Wasn't President George H.W. Bush Director of Central Intelligence, Ambassador to China, a Yalie, etc.? Doesn't President George W. Bush have a Harvard MBA? Wasn't President Carter a nuclear submarine officer? Those all sound pretty "intellectual" to me, but I guess I'm not a has-been ex-pat hack writer in France.

Gore Vidal is an old '60's fag who never fully came out although was generally known. He appears now to be in significant cognitive decline, on his way to the oblivion of Alzheimer's, never having fully made the grade as a public intellectual. Probably is more well known among eurotrash, who have far lower standards, than among his hated fellow countrymen.

Whatta maroon, but he’s loved by the ‘glitterati’, so he gets press whenever he wants it.

‘”But remember - the Republican Party is not a political party. It's a mindset, like Hitler Youth. It's full of hatred. You're not going to get them aboard. Don't even try. The only way to handle them is to terrify them. He's too delicate for that.”

He might have set a record there for self-evident projection. Do all supporters of tyranny justify themselves this way?

He is 83 and in a wheelchair (a result of hypothermia suffered in the war, his left knee is made of titanium).

The grand old man of letters Gore Vidal claims America is 'rotting away' -- and don't expect Barack Obama to save it Another notable Obama mis-step has been on healthcare reform. "He f***ed it up. I don't know how because the country wanted it. We'll never see it happen." As for his wider vision: "Maybe he doesn't have one, not to imply he is a fraud. He loves quoting Lincoln and there's a great Lincoln quote from a letter he wrote to one of his generals in the South after the Civil War. 'I am President of the United States....

The London Times ^ | September 30, 2009 | Tim Teeman
Barack Obama is failing as President and the US is in danger of sliding into a military dictatorship, says Gore Vidal, the American essayist and intellectual. In an exclusive interview with The Times, Vidal, 83, reveals that he regrets switching his allegiance from Hillary Clinton to Mr Obama during last year's campaign to secure the Democratic presidential nomination. "I was hopeful," he said of Mr Obama. "He was the most intelligent person we've had in that position for a long time. But he's inexperienced. He has a total inability to understand military matters. He's acting as if Afghanistan is the...

"...first intellectual president we've had in many years..."

Consider the source: pulp fiction writer; intellectual midget, whose polemics amount to nothing more than ad hominem attacks and statement of his opinion. I think he sees a lot of himself in BO.

And if there is any doubt about the vacuum between this guy's ears, consider that he pronounced Dennis Kucinich "the most eloquent" of the presidential candidates and that Kucinich "is very much a favorite out there in the amber fields of grain."
Riiiiight.
