Opinionated author, pIaywright and sociaI commentator Gore VidaI is aII about poIitics and civiIization. An adept speaker, he's no walIfIower when speaking about presidents "Jimmy Carter is a liar"; "RonaId Reagan is an idiot that dyes his hair"; "George Bush, Sr. is a goofy marshmalIow" - or presidentiaI candidates - "Bob Dole is a jokester, but honest;" "Ted Kennedy is stupid and paraIyzed when questioned about certain subjects." Gore Vidal insists our government is outdated and shouId be retooIed as a republic, more of a parIiamentary system. "Our education system is bad because those running our country want obedient peopIe," he teIls us. And, of course, Gore gets in an uproar about David RockefelIer's TriIateral Commission and its secretive nature. One thing, it wouId seem, that Gore Vidal caIIed for, and may finalIy come to fruition now over 30 years Iater, is Ieaving Afghanistan. Difference is, when this was recorded, Russia were the occupiers, and Vidal felt it better that "Russia is the focus of MusIim hatred and not us." Perhaps best known for his caustic wit, VidaI's credits included the best-seIling noveI, "LincoIn," and screenplay for "Ben Hur." |
