Entry: Remembering Norman and Bill Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/remember_norman_and_bill#23953 Post contents: Can we stop, already? Buckley was a neo-con brown-noser. A Manhattanite, Catholic sell-out. A perfunctor of shallow, forgettable columns and sleazy spy novels. Why treat him like some cultural icon? He symbolized how low we have sunk. That is what war (or cold war) does to a culture. It raises the Buckleys of the world into serious literary figures. We've gone from Emily Dickinson to Blackford Oakes. Actually, Manhattanite sell-out is a redundancy. NYC is America's sewer. No wonder Buckley loved it there. What a con-man! Here's to you, Bill. Give my regards to Hef. Sent at: 2008 10 07
