He said he wanted to do the Playboy interview so his son would actually read it. What a guy. Nobody else could pull off sprawling casually back in a chair while brutally beating someone at a debate like Buckley could. It's just a shame that Buckley lived to see conservatism get completely abandoned by the party he brought it to.

But he did create a lot of avenues where intellectual debate could occur: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYlMEVTa-PI Chomsky bests him in this I believe. It's a far cry from the screaming idiots that pass for debate today.

He lived part of the year in Camden, SC for a long time & Firing Line was an SCETV production. KInd of an oxymoron there. Back in 1968, when Gore Vidal called him a neo-nazi racist or something like that, he called Vidal a "goddam queer" to his face. On CBS - live, no less. He didn't take any shit.

But I gotta say... dying suddenly at 82 while doing what you love... that's how I want to go. But unlike him, I won't be on top of a keyboard.
