"Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I'll knock you in the go**am face." ~ William F. Buckley One of the most famous (and infamous) exchanges in live television history.

In a time where a Presidential candidate's press secretary asks journalists to kiss his posterior, I yearn for the care-free days when name-calling and personal attacks seemed so civilized because men wore ties and spoke erudition through locked-jaws...

Very sad that Gore Vidal passed away... He was a great novelist, actor and policy analyst... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYymnxoQnf8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Why don't we have this kind of quality entertainment anymore? Bring back mass media smart TV, where are the new Vidals, Buckleys, Hitchens, and McLuhans?
Aug 2
the fab days of black-and-white TV & ferocious debates between geniuses who could use terms like "cryptonazi" and "queer" & never throw a punch
Aug 2
Oh shit!
Aug 2
Love it, think we can bring this style of debate back?

This is the first time I've seen this exchange. Hilarious! Right wingers at the time cheered Buckley, but Gore Vidal was right about the Vietnam War. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYymnxoQnf8

I'm sure that, as part of his reward in heaven, William Buckley was recently given the opportunity to beat up Gore Vidal. You know, in heaven, you can whoop anti-Semites without your knuckles hurting the next day.
