Entry: Remembering Norman and Bill Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/remember_norman_and_bill#23750 Post contents: As a card carrying Canadian Liberal, I found Buckley more stimulating and educative, even though I disagreed with most of his opinions. Although I agreed ideologically with most of Mailer's opinions, I was never a big fan. I just found his delivery a bit too crass. Both men were great, I feel their works will be relavent for centuries. If someone asked me who I would prefer to have dinner with between the two of them, I would pick Buckley. I feel that having dinner with Mailer would be identical to having dinner with my uncle Mihali, who would pass the evening by telling me (or anyone for that matter) how he's going to seduce our waitress and describing ad nauseam how he would have sex with the said waitress in the mensroom.
