The Soup Vs Gore Vidal

[NoGoodBoyo1000]

Vidal remains the arrogant , mediocre, leftist tool he has always been. He was always stupid, now he's senile as well.

[Darusdei]

@NoGoodBoyo1000 ooh cry us a riveeeeeeer

[angrycitizen7]

Isn't he 84 now? I'll cut him a break.

[lvgraham]

Gore Vidal is a supercilious asshole.

[disamjisa]

@lvgraham Supercilious, yes. Asshole... do you even know who he is? He's at least 100 years old, give him a break.

[lvgraham]

@disamjisa Vidal is famous for getting his panties in a bunch because he was called an "Aging F@ggot" -- he then called his 'attacker' a "Card-carrying Communist" and took the guy to court. Guess who won? Maybe they were both assholes -- but the guy who drags such nonsense into court? -- he gets the prize.

[disamjisa]

@lvgraham That's what Vidal is famous for amongst people who don't know much about American literature.

For the rest of us, The City and the Pillar and Myra Breckenridge come to mind. Cheers

[ThomYorkesHead]

Gore Vidal is senile and drunk in that clip, and he's still funnier than this guy.

[johnhofi]

all it takes is a clever celebrity metaphor and a little arrogant prattle and we're on top again...god i (with a little 'i') love gossip...

[LAguns1992]

This is funnnny

[bobstheking]

God help us when he's gone...NOBODY else tells the truth...as he sees it.

[MrAleppo123]

i am all for sending up the great gore vidal

but lets get some class comedians in to do it. not some schmuck cheap-ass prick like this here

vidal is a great man

[italoirish888]

Diaper changing joke. Real original. Gore Vidal is a first rate wit with a first rate intellect. This guy Joel will be lucky to have a career 1/10 as long as Gore's and he should consider himself lucky if he commands even 1/100th of Gore's respect.

[Erik93022]

stfu loser

[italoirish888]

nice comeback fag.

[disamjisa]

@italoirish888 I'm finding it hard to tally your above comment about Gore Vidal with your earlier comment. Do you know why he's famous?

[italoirish888]

@disamjisa My above comment was directed at someone else. And yes I know who Gore Vidal is and I've read a good number of his books.

[CalliopeBell]

please! it's just a joke, don't take it so seriously! obviously the soup isn't first rate journalism. it's just a funny show that's entertaining to watch. so lighten up a little bit!

[bobstheking]

If i met that young punk i"d put my fist down his goddamned throat, and horse whip him for good measure.

[poitrenaud]

Oh, we know that these Jokesters are irreverent to people better than Gore Vidal, also.

Yes; Gore Vidal is a great intellect. And the world is made up of many dignificed and clear, decent people. Expect that from these Jokesters.

[niallguinan]

Does this guy have any idea who Gore Vidal is? Gore Vidal is one of the greatest intellectuals of our time. I have no idea who this guy is presenting this "soup" program but

[niallguinan]

But I have a pretty good idea that he has not written any great novels or history books. I am also pretty sure that he never exposed William F. Buckley as the dumbsuck homophobe that he was.

[DermochelysCoriacea]

I am nonplussed. The host is nothing, nugatory. The people writing his jokes are philistines, and the producers are the masterminds behind this facade. I cannot believe this host and these sorry philistines in the audience laughing about absolutely nothing. They have no idea who Gore Vidal is, presuming thoughtlessly he is some old, senile aristocrat. This is abhorrent.

[CalliopeBell]

wow, i am sooooooo impressed by your big words.

[DermochelysCoriacea]

Fuck off cocksucker. Even if you wanted to use unusual words you couldn't. You're plain stupid.

[CalliopeBell]

wow! you're very sensitive, aren't you? i was just commenting on how funny it is that you tried to fit so many unnecessarily large words into one small youtube comment. apparently i hit a nerve!

[DermochelysCoriacea]

@CalliopeBell

I apologize for my outburst. I am sensitive because I am horrible at constructing euphonious sentences despite my having amassed a brobdingnagian vocabulary and mastered grammar. When I read my own sentences, I want to kill myself; you hit a nerve. I would argue, however, that the words are not gratuitous. I am a grandiloquent man; it would be silly to expect a grandiloquent man to be otherwise. In the same, it would be silly to expect a strong man not to lift so much.

[CalliopeBell]

well, i only call them unnecessary because you can say the same things with much smaller, simpler words. but thanks for the apology, and i'm sorry i sounded like such a bitch. you are a decent man!

[robtul12]

@niallguinan I agree wholeheartedly.

[paisabombom2133]

LMAOO at gore vidal lol

[Osmanfr]

E's Monkey!You have no idea who Gore Vidal is, and how much he has given to the society.

[MikeRoch6969]

[polksalad1234]
