Well, I guess when it comes to a discussion of vanity, Normal Mailer would qualify as the supreme expert on the topic.

Er, "Normal" = Norman. Not much that's "normal" about him.

"so big, so powerful, and so vain..."When I first read that, I immediately thought of the former Soviet Union.

Norman Mailer is so full of hate.
To: Brian Mosely
How old is this guy? I remember an episode of MASH, set in the 50s, where Frank was burning Norman Mailer books. Hmm. Maybe Ferret Face was on to something there.
To: Brian Mosely
Why do we need all this reaffirmation? It's as if we're a three hundred pound man who's seven feet tall, superbly shaped, absolutely powerful, and every three minutes he's got to reaffirm the fact that his arm pits have a wonderful odor.With sophomoric metaphores like this its no wonder Mailer hasn't been able to sell a new book in 30 years.

Yes, he's so relevant and important....I'd thought he was dead for years. BFD what he thinks; another has-been piping in for a bit of publicity...

I fear I am ready to say there is a tolerable level to terror... Math for Dummies. Ah, too bad, Norm that you or some family member weren't a part of the "tolerable level of terror" statistics. I bet you think this song is about you.

To: Brian Mosely
Is this the same Normy that was so vain that he knew that his judgment was so much better than society's that he was able to spring a murderer who could write and once sprung, the murderer murdered again? Oh, Norm, please, please guide us, show us the true way.
It isn't every day that America gets direction from a guy with tapioca for brains. Well, actually, I guess it is a daily thing.

Norman Mailer: spouting the great un-American drivel.
Cue up Carly Simon, w/ words revised to:
You're so vain
You probably think this war is about you...

Did I read that wrong? Did Norman Mailer say we shouldn't get all huffy about September 11 because you still have a better chance of dying in a car wreck than a terrorist attack?

every American has to ask himself, 'Am I ready to die for my ideas?'" Why, yes, Norman, I swore an oath to that regard some time ago; something a yellow-bellied leftist coward like you will never understand. Know full well, though, that I'll do everything in my power as an American citizen to hold that doorway for the other guy first.
Take a few guesses as to who those "other guys" are.
