Gore Vidal on Charlie Rose 1994 Part 1

[Magenta408]

Gore is Gore. Unique and thank goodness that we have at least one who can speak his mind.

The last patriot. When he kicks it, we'll really be on our own.

Only in American Politics is lying a virtue. That's the smartest thing I've heard all day.

God, Vidal has the same mannerisms as Buckley, his ideological opposite. Weird.

@MrClipper23 man tahts incredible i thought that (exactly) just a few seconds ago!

@MrClipper23 Come come, you don't mean that sophistic observation. Just because they both have good diction and use correct grammar does not mean their mannerisms are same or even similar. Buckley spoke with a drawl, brandished a red pen which was often laved with his saliva, used long meandering sentences and "out-of-town" words. Mr.Vidal speaks much more straight-forwardly, using plain yet lucid language.Lastly,buckley was far-right but Vidal isn't far left.

@MrClipper23

That's the way upper class New Yorkers used to carry themselves. FDR sounded the same as well. All three are from New York.

[EastofModernity]

@MrClipper23 But Vidal is a much, much better writer than Buckley by far.
