#2 Adios, whelp. Much as I liked your parents, I'm glad they're gone so they didn't have to see any more of your idiocy.

#3 From Buckley's previous article where he explains why he is voting for O!bama:

But having a first-class temperament and a first-class intellect, President Obama will (I pray, secularly) surely understand that traditional left-politics arent going to get us out of this pit weve dug for ourselves. If he raises taxes and throws up tariff walls and opens the coffers of the DNC to bribe-money from the special interest groups against whom he has (somewhat disingenuously) railed during the campaign trail, then he will almost certainly reap a whirlwind that will make Katrina look like a balmy summer zephyr.

Obama has in himI think, despite his sometimes airy-fairy We are the people we have been waiting for silly rhetoricthe potential to be a good, perhaps even great leader. He is, it seems clear enough, what the historical moment seems to be calling for.

In a nutshell, Buckley is hoping the charming leopard will change his spots and renounce the left-wing politics he has practiced all his life. Christopher's dadddy would be appalled by the illogic inherent in that. In the meantime, have another glass of kool-aid, Chris!

#5 His books are lol funny -- does he have to turn in his sense of humor as his crosses the aisle? Will he become the Dixie Chicks of paperback? All signs point to "yes."

#6 Who cares? If it wasn't for his daddy, no one would. I'm guessing he never measured up so he checked out. Only way the poor sap can get any attention directed his way is to try and cast a shadow across his father's star.

Hey Jr! Go cry in your shrink's office with all of the other FUed children of the rich and famous. Without the hourly fee, no one else cares.
