Gore Vidal and David Dimbleby on different planets

[zwiiyt]

Nope, no dirty tricks here, vidal. Obama was clearly the media favourite, and he was also the favoirute of the 'bankers.' Vidal's disdain for the republicans makes him look like an idiot after 3 year of witnessing the tragedy of obama's presidency. Everyone one of the things he accuses republicans of is exactly what obama has been advancing since his inauguration.

[clockworkscott]

i love how vidal doesn't even remotely look in the direction of the camera while he's speaking. it goes well with the utter contempt he has for these twats.

[fleamarket3000]

we should kill everybody over 40, that would solve most of the worlds problems

[zwiiyt]

@fleamarket3000 That's a really bad Idea. I know that liberals like you just love education. Now who is going to do the educating when all the educated are dead? 

[HoGraz]

"Your turn."

[The911Shaman]

lol! I love the Brits!

[TheAqui1a]

lmao Vidal shows how senile he is with his waffle, and all of you filthy yankcunts defend the old twat?

[steveinchelsea]

I had heard of DD, but, being a Yank, was not really familiar with him. GV evidently was and really had fun with the poor guy!. And GV, you are so presceint. The crazy stuff is happening NOW!

[NAIVADA]

wow IS THAT the BBC now? Vidal was dead on, but come on those caughing idiot laughters at the end, is there any better way to show how ignorant and off beat you are? after watching this, I do not think so

[angrycitizen7]

Does David Dimbleby and the rest of the people on this program(besides Vidal) always make douche nuggets out of themselves?

[Cabronosidad]

Gore Vidal keeping his pimp hand strong!

[fbiauk]

fredblassie123  Gore Vidal is a mad alcoholic, who's the clown now?

[fredblassie123]

Gore owned this Limey Clown!! Funny.....

[timwilderspin]

My favourite bit of Vidal wisdom/hilarity in this is: David: "Well I know who YOU are!" Gore: "Really? Well you're one up on me!"

[panchamkauns]

"Everything he said made sense" because he barely said anything at all ...!

[dilbertgeg]

Vidal answers questions like a polite version of John (Rotten) Lydon.

[cake70]

David Dimbleby. Legend.

[MrAleppo123]

lol at the really pathetic laughs at the end when they show us the wideshot of the desk

I think we can afford to laugh a little. The man will be remembered long after we are forgotten

[Sebends]

Aww, Vidal is drunk, sooo cute.

[gloomyoutlook]

That wasn't a bizarre rant at all, come on. Everything he said made sense, he just seemed a bit cranky. He's an old man, he's allowed to be.

[diktaytor456]

this is one of those things you laugh at, hard, but then you feel like a douche cause Vidal doesn't deserve this

[thorkyll]

Gore VIdal, what a great man!

[bewaver]

He may be old, but he knows far to well who he is talking to, never seen somebody defusing so much is so little time. Respect the man! Who does this journalist think he is talking to, he tought he could trick and own GV so easily. Mind you, he could afford to say the republican have tricked the last elections, 911 was an inside job, and Debuya the most stupid President the US has never seen, and get away with it. But why undermine his legacy? We will miss him whe he is gone. TOTAL OWNAGE

[Wolverhampton1]

Hang on matey - this is David Dimbleby, the greatest British journalist who's ever practised.

He's been presenting politics since the early 1960s and is still stronger now in his 70s than ever!

You show some respect, as in Britain we like our journalists to get to the bottom of things and out drunken old men like Gore Vidal!

[bewaver]

To a certain extend he is better that most of the so called nowadays journalists. I am just sad that he is trying to trick GV into saying he is racist, and laugh at the fact that he either doesn't hear well or let's say he's starting to feel the weight of the ages. But take no offense, I am just p* o* at the so called modern journalism (catch 22 with most viewer's tastes mind you) where Paris Hilton is the number one news and breast surgery the holy grail of surgery. Democracy...

[Rahab111222]

Gore Vidal is so awesome. =)

[Strictly]

LMAO. This guy is of his fucking rocker..

Damn I love eccentrics lol.

[CampionX]

He's just lost some of his wits due to his age. Gore Vidal is a brilliant writer and intellectual who shouldn't be judged by his demeanor today but rather how he was when he was younger.

[Tapecutter59]

"I don't know what you're saying I'm saying, would you do it again"

I don't think he has lost anything. The way he chewed up and spat out the inteviewer for explaining his words to the viewers was hillarious. I like the grumpy Vidal, it's just a fact of life that old people who still have their wits refuse to suffer fools lightly.

[tommythegunn]

I loved that, i watched the election night live on BBC and i pissed myself when that came on, he was on some mad rant i don't know what the hell he was talking about at the end.

[algoremanbearpig]

omfg im a democrat and voted for Obama, but Mr. Vidal is a freakin idiot. Both sides have their loons. 99% of all Democrats and Republicans are good people and while i may have ideological diferences they are still good people and have a valid point to argue. WE are all Americans

[BlackMambaLAKB24]

You certainly are living in an delusional world.This government has actually gone into the worse turn in history with thanks to the Republicans,the wars,the money scandals lobbyists.THIS COUNTRY IS HEADED FOR BANKRUPTCY!. The America many of us thought would arise since the time of president Roosevelt would sink into the general public mind,but clearly now theirs too many people brainwashed to feed truths to.That America is finished at this moment leaders are looking to be dictators not friends.

[bewaver]

You can't possibly call GV an idiot my friend, this only shows you really don't know who you are talking about! Have a look at his legacy, he has been around since the Big Bang.

[sarahsem123]

hahaha:D wth is he saying?!

[peteaaaa]

Dimbleby got owned by Vidal

[ateach52]

What a total prig, that Gore Vidal! Used to think he was brilliant, but he's obviously way past his shelf-life date!

[bewaver]

Read my comment above, sometimes its better to say nothing and leave uncertainty as for your intelligence than open you yap and confirm your ignorance. What is a "prig" by the way a mix of pig and prick, go wash you mouth with soap, then come back, apologise to him, then look for what he has written, come back and apologise again.

[suraaldy]

Vidal is usually blunt, but here he acts downright weird.

[ninetimes11]

David Dumb-leby is an intellectual pygmy when compared to Gore Vidal!!

[paulsmyname]

True, but then again almost everyone is when compared to Vidal.
