I've never understood why people have thought that Buckley was such a great writer. He is a horrible orator. Thankfully, most people don't know who he is, and even fewer care.

Horrible orator?!?!!?!

Hey, when you're right, you're right!

I liked what he said most of the time, but I always had such a hard time trying to stay awake in between his sentences. Most people could give a long speech in the time it took him to utter a single thought.

Yeah, who cares what Buckley thinks, he's only the most important and influential thinker of the modern conservative movement.
