Those were the days . . .

. . . when a brilliant, aristocratic faggot had the balls to call William F. Buckley a crypto-Nazi to his face. On live television, no less!  And how Buckley reacts is priceless - he knows how absolutely accurately he has been pinned, so he responds with his own version of the truth - "Listen, you queer," he sneers, "Stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I'll sock you in the goddamn face!"  Ah - a prime example of the fabled wit of William F. Buckley!  (Don't you agree, Terry Teachout and David Brooks?)  Rest in peace, Mr. Vidal.  If only you had an heir in the age of Roger Ailes!
