'100 years to recover from Bush'
14/06/2008 14:13 - (SA)
Madrid - It will take the United States a century to recover from the damage wreaked by President George. W Bush, US writer Gore Vidal said in an interview published on Saturday.
"The president behaved like a virtual criminal but we didn't have the courage to sack him for fear of violating the American constitution," Vidal told the El Mundo newspaper.
The author, a trenchant critic of the US-led invasion of Iraq, said it would take the United States "100 years to repair the damage" caused by Bush.
"We live in a dictatorship. We have a fascist government ...which controls the media," he said.
Vidal also said presidential aspirant Barack Obama was "intelligent" adding that it would be a "novelty" to have an "intelligent" person in the White House.

Gore Vidal is still alive?

This is what passes for intellectual comment from the left and the likes of Gore Vidal. I didn't realize he was still alive. This guy has obviously suffered some form of mental impairment.
He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.

I read somewhere that neurotics build dream palaces, and psychotics live in them. I don't know if Vidal is psychotic, but he is clearly above and beyond simple delusion.

It is difficult to image how so many liberals can make good arguments as to why they are the singularly biggest loser in the world. But, Vidal is in the running.
Take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRjZR8j4-z4.
Youtube has several wonderful Buckley videos.

Vidal clearly qualifies for kook status, at a minimum. His condescension toward Buckley make me want to punch him in the @#$% mouth.

The two despised each other and waged a long-running feud as far as I can tell. I pity anyone trying to match wits with Buckley. There were few keener intellects in all of America.

Yeah, that is Gore Vidal and not Vidal Sassoon.
