Ah, Lance, you'll have to do better than that. I got paid to watch that tripe rot. Don't tell me you were slumming . . .

I've wondered that as well. If you watch the old "Firing Line" from the 60s, Buck Sr.'s face jumps all over the place, while his body stretches and contorts with each reactionary sally. Could be that son is imitating father, though I don't know why he would. In this case, son is a better writer than father.
