He seemed like a decent fellow
By VictorM:I echo this Liberal Values comment:
William F. Buckley, Jr has died at age 82. While the news is too recent for much reaction, National Review Online does note that he died while at work in his study, exactly how they think he would have wanted it. Buckley’s great achievement, as noted by The New York Times, was to make conservatism “a system of ideas.” We might not agree with many of his ideas, but Buckley was the type of person to turn to in order to hear opposing viewpoints argued with intelligence and wit.I remember watching his TV show on PBS and although even as a teenager I disagreed with the man on virtually everything, I just couldn't dislike the guy. Truly, a far cry from today's rat pack of conservatives.
To paraphrase the Man in Black: He seemed like a decent fellow.

Yeah, he was a smart, decent guy. Hard to imagine that the likes of Tucker Carlson ever hoped to fill Buckley's shoes. Carlson's not fit to lick Buckley's dead corpse.
