Post by: RGMike on February 27, 2008, 08:51:55 AM
no doubt someone here will say "RIH" but he was iconic, influential, frequently satirized and unique.

Sorry, no love from me, though I'll stop short of "RIH."

Ever see Hook?  Dustin Hoffman's weird take on Capt. Hook was based on Buckley.  He once said that it was because he could think of nothing more frightening to young children than WFB.

he was a good writer. amen.

and compared to today's O'Reilly/Limbaugh/Coulter conservatives, he was practically a wild-eyed libertarian (well, except for that AIDS-quarantine thing).

well, I don't know if RIH is my reaction, but he seemed to be one of the first of the lot to pave the way for all these right-wing talking heads.  I always resented the way he wouldn't let people respond logically to his warped points of view.

He changed as he aged. He was a libertarian in regards to being in favor of the legalization of pot. Actually compared to Man Coulter he's a liberal.
