May God have mercy on his America-hating, moonbat-leftist soul

I was going to say that I hoped Buckley would punch him in his G.D. mouth, but I don’t think he’s going where Buckley is (although hopefully he will).

[A.A. Cunningham]

William F. Buckley Jr is busy penning an articulate request to the Almighty for a shot at that SOB.

William Buckley ate his lunch in 1968

Mr Steers told the Associated Press that his uncle had been ill “for quite a while”.

Approximately 86 years

Is this the party to whom I am speaking?

Mr. Veedal, there seems to be a problem with your bill.....

Obama can’t afford to lose votes!

His historical novels are worth reading -I liked Julian and Creation.

Mr Steers told the Associated Press that his uncle had been ill “for quite a while”.

I wonder what the fatal malady was. Despite the decedent's advanced age, in his case, the answer could still be interesting.

[djf]

Agreed. Creation was very, very good.

Regardless of his politics or morals, he is acknowledged as being an extraordinary writer.

[Borges]

I think most of his fiction will probably be forgotten but his essays will live on. He may have been the best essayist in English since Orwell. Many of them are apolitical too.

“Gore Vidal has died aged 86...”

I won’t be attending the funeral —but I will send a nice letter stating that I approve of it.

I for one won't lose sleep over this passing. Having heard that before and knowing first hand how the VC in the south and the Lao Dong party in the north managed their terrortories (not a misspelling), he earned callous send off.

[JRandomFreeper]

I rarely do a happy dance at the passing of anyone. But there have been a few. This is under consideration.

Friggin communist.

As the great Shakespeare might say:

Get thee to thy reward, thou rancorous rump-fed foot-licker!
Begone from this mortal coil, thou rank hasty-witted pigeon-egg!
Enjoy thy banishment to thine eternal cell, thou babbling pottle-deep hypocrite!

Oh, for breath to utter what is like thee!
