When he ran for Mayor, in 1965, he was a riot. When Lindsay [and nobody could load up the syllables in “John VLIET Lindsay” like WFB] came up with the slogan “He [Lindsay] is fresh, and everyone else is tired”, Buckley ran with it: [Abe] Beame “is short, and everyone else is tall”, and on and on.

One of his position papers called for building a raised bicycle path: “The Buckley Bike way. My finest moment”. The book he wrote about that campaign “The Unmaking of A Mayor” was the funniest political reminiscence I ever read.

Very funny....We could use that first line to explain Obama Mania...”He is fresh, and everyone else is tired”

LOL
