I am a little gay for WIlliam F. Buckley

Not that I'm a Republican. Or gay, for that matter. I just read this thing on PopMatters about him, so I'm going to be unconsciously plagiarising it (is that actually not a word?). I realize that I don't agree with him on most things, or possibly would even enjoy his company, but he's just sort of an outrageous character to me. Also I like how he dressed. I think I like this deeply intellectual political figure because of the most superficial possible reasons, and I'm okay with that. Nice suit and turn of phrase, you patrician son of a bitch.
