You Are Currently Watching: Christopher Buckley Votes for Obama
Posted In: All Videos, Alternative NewsComments: 83 Responses
Political satirist Christopher Buckley was the chief speechwriter of Vice President George H. Bush, and he’ll be quick to emphasize that letter, H. He is also William F. Buckley Jr.’s son. He went to Yale, was a member of Skull and Bones, and was the managing editor of Esquire Magazine in his 20s. In other words, he has every reason to be a stodgy, annoying human like many privileged white dudes turn out to be. I don’t know him personally, so I can’t say that he doesn’t, indeed, suck as a human in his personal life. I am, however, a huge fan of his work as a novelist. I mean, huge. I look forward to reading his books like I look forward to a good glass of wine or a giant portion of dessert. His brand of political satire and humor is so exactly what I need right now during these hyper-politically conscious times. So naturally, when I heard he was having a reading at Barnes and Noble, I stalked him grassroots style with my teeny video camera. This is the resulting video. Read more about him on his Wikipedia page.

[..YouTube..] Here is some help in expanding your vocabulary since all you are able to call me is an idiot.ignoramous, dimwit, golem, mentally defective, cretin, dolt, peabrain, dunderhead, oaf, imbecile, or you could try adding some adjectives and call me a congenital idiot, or a blithering idiot. I hope this helps your ability to develop an intelligent arguement. Good luck in the future. I know these probably all apply to me since I’m discussing this with someone with a limited intelectual capacity.

[..YouTube..] Why try politics when you’re selling books? I think it works the other way. FIRST you become a politician, THEN you write books that sell. Buckley is a good writer, in the sense that he always seems to pick a subject that the political (or someone who likes to consider themselves political) reader would choose off the shelf. But in so far as satire and humor, I find him dull and lacking in persona. I should have taken the book back, but I didn’t. To quote his dad, “why don’t we complain”?!!
