Yup. When he's good, he's really good.
Thanks also for the Vidal piece.
I didn't read most of the WFB posts because the guy was such a vile turd. I guess he assigned himself the role of front man in providing an intellectual veneer to U.S. imperialism and racism, and he succeeded. What more is there to say....except perhaps to point out the bankruptcy of a system that had to rely on the likes of him...and Strauss....and Coulter....
