He's still alive and think he matters. Well, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Here's his take on Obama:

“[Obama's] incompetent. He will be defeated for re-election. It’s a pity because he’s the first intellectual president we’ve had in many years, but he can’t hack it. He’s not up to it. He’s overwhelmed.”

One can only hope he's correct.

We are fucked unless we overthrow the criminals in the Pentagon and Washington and CIA and expose all their doings. 9/11 was an inside job.

@kellygirl328 What planet are you on?

Gore Vidal was always the hero of anti Americanism , .....a communist homosexual/pedophile

@exning1 He has been prophetic.

Well it's still a rather comfortable third reich so far, but yeah, it's bankrupt. They'll hand Social Security over to Wall Street, not just to enrich their investor friends but mostly just to fuck everyone over. The press and the idiots, especially the teabaggers, will all go along. When the rubes figure out that it doesn't reduce the national debt after-all but only takes away the benefits they paid into their whole lives, we'll be so fucked up it won't matter.

WRONG: Mr. Vidal, it was all over when bush nixon ford dulles & company blew JFK's brains all over the street took cover the govt and sent us to Vietnam we became war mongers. Eisenhower tried to warn us. Right: they copied Hitler's MO formstarting WW2 saying Poland attacked them.. They are not patriots but traitors

@erikj Wait... taken away the freedom of the internet? What's that even mean? Are you referring to net neutrality? If you are, then you clearly have no idea what it means.
