I'm impressed with myself that I found you and subscribed. I've come across great channels that post every now and then, but yours is the only channel I've found that is frequent and constantly provocative and entertaining.

I wish the world could have one tenth of your insight.

Brilliant!

Who did he say he was gonna go vote for? I couldnt make it out.. and i replayed it a few times.

[theresident]

Yes, he said Obama. :)

[AGuyWhoPunkUMama]

uknow what?...I think I WILL go read his books :P

[theresident]

Dear Mr. Buckley thank you for voting OBAMA It's a kick in the nuts to the Right(facists) and a blessing to see a conservative who has seen the light!

[isselman2000]

Christopher Buckley is the son of William F. Buckley, Jr.

[mu99ins]

And what does Mr. Buckley think, in retrospect, about endorsing Obama?

[8ballbreakandrun]

Why try politics when you're selling books? I think it works the other way. FIRST you become a politician, THEN you write books that sell. Buckley is a good writer, in the sense that he always seems to pick a subject that the political (or someone who likes to consider themselves political) reader would choose off the shelf. But in so far as satire and humor, I find him dull and lacking in persona. I should have taken the book back, but I didn't. To quote his dad, "why don't we complain"?!!

[eschapps]

I looked, and your right. I'm shocked! I'll look into Baldwin. Thanks!

hehe...that dude was on the Daily Show yesterday. Pretty funny guy. I'll give "Supreme Courtship" a read sometime.

[eslgurucalif]

The way this lady talks is such an annoying mix of cliche and "B student at Hofstra pseudo-sophistication." It is like listening to someone scratch a blackboard.

[stephendedlus]

he has the same facial ticks as his father and he's right - who would want to be the next president considering the massive shitpile that will be left to him come next january. we desperately need to come together as a nation instead of an internecine gaggle of screaming, blogging hordes and slowly climb out of this mess. what's the chance of that happening???

Christopher Buckley:

"While I regret this development, I am not in mourning, for I no longer have any clear idea what, exactly, the modern conservative movement stands for. Eight years of "conservative" government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance."
