Entry: Requiem for a Tough Guy Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/requiem_for_a_tough_guy#9208 Post contents: At the start of his literary career, Mailer vowed to destroy fascist America. He must have meant FDR's America, and what a punch in the jaw to that hearty monger of the "good war". And as his ouevre ran on to the end of his days, here was a big punch in the jaw, a butt to his head: Aggression in Iraq, a swaggering square-off against the Omar Khayyam of Iran, and the strongest, most hideous Leviathan ever. Say a prayer for Norman. Wherever he is, he must be scratching his bleep that all his cantering filth and lefty prancing saw him breathing his last inside the fascist regime he sought to destroy. I'll say this for the pre-fascist regime he lived through. He became a rich man. Hypocrites have to live, too. Sent at: 2008 07 06
