Yeah, well a lot of freepers and I got it right but we don't get published in National Reviewor Forbes. Do you suppose that if we learned to write like a metrosexual Maureen Dowd we might get published in Forbes? Or did daddy have to know Malcolm?

Our choice, last fall, was between an angry 73 year old with a legislative record far from consistently conservative, who nominated as his running mate a know-nothing religious extremist; on the other side was an appealing, thoughtful man who--for a brief shining moment--seemed to be more than the sum of his ideological parts.
If I had to vote all over again, I'd pull the same lever. Maybe I'm obtuse. Or maybe I just haven't yet entirely given up on the old audacity of hope.

Or maybe you're just a punk who lives off your daddy's reputation.
Buckley is clearly an educated moron.
Buckley: You ARE obtuse. And anyone who votes for a baby-murderer is evil. Go away somewhere and enjoy your millions.
Ditto.
All the folks who had 401Ks now have change.
So Sarah Palin is a “know-nothing religious extremist”?
Chris has gone off the cliff. They’ve probably got his father Bill Buckley lashed down so he can’t spin.
Disgusting.
If Bill were still alive he would demand a paternity test.
That’s nice,Chrisse.
Then you are still an idiot
Naw, you’re not obtuse....but you can work your way UP to obtuse.
an appealing, thoughtful man who--for a brief shining moment--seemed to be more than the sum of his ideological parts.What moment was this?
Obviously.
If I had to vote all over again, I'd pull the same lever. Maybe I'm obtuse.
Christopher Buckley is bring disrepute upon his family name. William F. is rolling over in his grave.
Or maybe I just haven't yet entirely given up on the old audacity of hope.
Buckley: “Maybe I’m obtuse.”
Yeah, maybe so.
I agree neither choice was exactly a good one, but one would have to be extremely obtuse to ignore the OBVIOUS signs of Obama’s political philosophy. There were only two reasonable courses of action for conservatives: sit it out or vote McCain. You don’t vote for a socialist because you have problem voting for a RINO moderate, Christopher!
Why is Forbes publishing the musings of this anti-capitalist jackass?
“If I had to vote all over again, I’d pull the same lever.”
Then you aren’t obtuse, you’re stupid. The truth has been laid bare and you still are unwilling to accept it. You can’t even see the difference between a “legislative record far from consistently conservative” to the far left socialist now in the White House. - And you’d do it again - Stupid is as stupid does.
BTW, I equate “sitting it out” with voting third party. Any of the above (third party, sitting it out, or vote McCain) would have been more honorable than a vote for a charismatic socialist hellbent on destroying everything America stands for!
Buckley is full of it, or full of himself would be more accurate. Anyone with two remaining, functioning synapses left to rub together knows that this administration is intent on destroying America, sooner, rather than later.
I have been calling for the starvation of universities. They are now the sworn enemies of capitalism and are nothing but Marxist propaganda mills.
Nothing is now more clear than formal education is destroying America because the truth is not being taught. There is no balance or fairness in universities. They are wholly owned subsidiaries of Marxists. The left runs them and only leftists gain tenure as professors.
Starve them to death and the leftists will have to get a real job and find out about economics on the most basic level.
We have an ocean of college graduates and an economy heading back to the hunter-gatherer stage.
And THAT will show daddy that I will do ANYTHING out of spite! WAAAAAH! WAAAAAH! LOOK AT ME!
Were the election held tomorrow, wouldn't you ask POTUS these three questions:
(1) Who are you?
(2) Where are you from?
(3) What were you doing in Kenya with Dick Morris campaigning for Odinga?
The MSM, including so-wannabe Chris Buckley, never asked the winning candidate "Who, "What, When, Where, Why, With whom, For Whom?" Fortunately for the winning candidate, neither did his opponent.
Yeah, well a lot of freepers and I got it right but we don't get published in National Reviewor Forbes. Do you suppose that if we learned to write like a metrosexual Maureen Dowd we might get published in Forbes? Or did daddy have to know Malcolm?

Or maybe you’re just a punk who lives off your daddy’s reputation.
And your Daddy’s money.
What does Ms Buckley have to say about that idea?
Wow! Second post of my day without the courtesy “Barf Alert”. I guess I will log off until tomorrow. Bye
Just damn. DC elitest.
Or, maybe you're just a moron, Chris. Must be something about the name Chris.
I also looked up Obamah Butt-Boy and found the same picture.
Chris was repelled by Palin and her “religious extremism.” I think I know enough about Chris, and it begins with his lack of candor.
But we will have well managed hunter gatherers!
Tha attack on Sarah Palin continues.
If this wart on a monkey's arse ever got away from a sidewalk, where he had to kill his own dinner, he'd likely starve with all his precious knowledge.
No great loss, but the scavengers might get ill...
Comic relief?
Then you’re still a fool.
Author: Christopher Buckley. Nothing to see here. Move along ...
When you dissect Buckley’s views, his real issue is with Sarah Palin. And his real issue with her is her alleged ‘extreme’ religious views. Yet if anyone takes the trouble and traces the evolution of Sarah’s faith they would at least know that it is significantly influenced by the writings of the great British thinker, CS Lewis. Lewis was a literary giant, a colleage of Tolkien, steeped in the classics, and one of the greatest Christain apologists of the 20th century. His views (in the Anglican tradition) may not be everyone’s cup of tea but he was most decidely not a so-called ‘fundamentalist’ and certainly not an ‘extremist’. He is beloved by both Evangelicals and Catholics alike. My main quarrel with people like Buckley (and Parker, Frum, Brooks, etc) is that they are intellectullay lazy, incurious, and uniformed. In other words they are badley educated! I am not American, but I appear to know more about American political candidates like Governor Palin than they take the trouble to find out.
That also covers about 90% of reporters,congress,senate.
... or maybe, Christopher, you’re just an old-fashioned liberal nut job? Would he care to mention one way in which Palin ever brought her religion into a political decision?
Chrissie Buckley should have his last name stripped from him, so not to further dishonor his father’s legacy.
A perfect example of Jerry Clower’s admonition to those folks who are “clearly educated beyond their intelligence!”
Christo, old boy, I’ll say it again: That “know-nothing religious extremist” apparently knew enough to have a better read on your candidate than you did. And if you ever thought (and especially if you still think) that Barry was going to be more conservative than John McCain, you’re too stupid to sweep floors at National Review, much less write for them, even less be a trustee.
By “obtuse,” does he mean “crooked,” or just simply “not right.” Can someone straighten out this square?
Give it about one year and you’ll not find one person who will admit they voted for O.
Fixed.
Christoper is as boring and useless as the few books he has cobbled together. His opinion on anything is of no use to anyone with a brain.
What Mr. Buckley has to first undertands is: who gives a rip what he thinks?
