Geez, man, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the quote. Does EVERYTHING have to include some Bush bashing? Can't you at least confine Bush bashing to things that have to do with Bush? Or does Bush infect your entire political viewpoint? Bush is gone. Get over it.

Considering Buckley graduated from Yale University & lived a life of upper class priviledge, I don't put much credence into his quote above.

He was also a staunch defender of the South's segregationist policies (so what does that say about his judgement?) and lived to regret it and ultimately reverse his position on segregation.

So...guy has the "wrong" position, later changes it to the "right" position, and that's some kind of negative reflection on his judgment? You would think he had better judgment had he not changed his mind? A whole lot of people from that generation never did, y'know.
