Well... from Wikipedia:
After a classical education at the Portsmouth Abbey School, Buckley, like his father, graduated from Yale University, as a member of Skull and Bones. He became managing editor of Esquire Magazine and later worked as the chief speechwriter for Vice President George H. W. Bush. This experience led to his novel The White House Mess, a satire on White House office politics and political memoirs. (The title refers to the White House lunchroom, which is known as the "mess" because the Navy operates it.)
Thank You for Smoking is another satire, its protagonist a lobbyist for the tobacco industry, Nick Naylor. He followed that with more humor about Washington in the form of Little Green Men, about the government agency investigating UFO sightings. His No Way To Treat A First Lady has the president's wife on trial for assassinating her husband and Florence of Arabia is about a do-gooding State Department bureaucrat in the Middle East. His one serious novel, Wet Work, is about a billionaire businessman avenging his granddaughter's death from drugs.
Thank You for Smoking was adapted into a movie written and directed by Jason Reitman and starring Aaron Eckhart. It was released on March 17, 2006.
Buckley also wrote the non-fiction Steaming To Bamboola, about the merchant marine, as well as contributed to an oral history of Milford, Connecticut, and is an editor at Forbes Magazine. Buckley has written for most national newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Time, The Atlantic Monthly, Smithsonian, US News & World Report, Vanity Fair, Vogue and Conde Nast Traveler [1]. He has also published numerous humorous essays in The New Yorker, and writes the back-page column for National Review, the conservative magazine founded by his father.[2]

As I thought.
The little snot has had quite the cushy life, built on the hard work of an ancestor, and sweetly lubricated by the connections established by his progenitors.
He has been “royalty” all his life and has no real appreciation for what it’s like to be a trench warrior, like those of us who worke our way up - the hard way.
My parents were Italian immigrants, with no connections, and very little money.
It would be one thing if this guy were pulling for people like us, but he ain’t. He’s pulling for another snob, a contemporary of his, Obama and his leftist buddies.
Young Buckley might be fortunate enough not to be just a useful idiot to the Obama-Ayers-Alinski axis, as are the millions of pie-eyed swooners that think Obama has their best interests at heart.
Young Buckly is not just one of Obama’s contemporaries, he’s one of his comrades.
