I don't see bitterness nor nastiness it's more a somewhat humorous edgy sarcasm...but he is very serious and he knows what he's talking about....we need people like him again if not to save us, at least make the great fall more enjoyable
My thoughts exactly.. He has a sort of fireside gentleman sharing a drink voice anyway, but in all the talks i've heard THIS one is a drinking toasting chat superb! "Good for him".
vote democratically as most canadian's do. use a piece of paper with an indelible pen - so you can re-count when you need results to be legitimate. the voter simply places their vote et voila! you have a paper trail to verify.
I wish that interview would of went on another hour! He was so right about al gore his campaign wasnt good, but after that he was full of fire, we lost out on that😢, how different the world would of been...
I NEVER thought that I would disagree with #GoreVidal, yet: If you’re a woman, you are probably #Grateful for the advent of : ‘Bluejeans’...!! 😉I Miss Him, too!
@Subversively Surreal. Gore Vidal had a problem with women wearing blue jeans? Why? He seemed to have feminist leanings, from listening to several videos of him.
Of all of the people that I wish were with us now, in April 2019, whilst the utterly craven-come-silly Democrats are confronted with the fact of their 2016 Loss ( of ‘The-Most-Q-for #Qualified Presidential Nominee! ), and the aged-Boomers-favourite, lost, fairly and squarely...?! For whom amongst them, these successes of the Very “ME!!-Generation Itself!” was not inured to #Poverty, and had not failed to Grasp the Most Scandalous, and Humiliating of all USA-Only inventions...that of a #PrivatisedCorporateInsurance scheme meant to virtually #wring the workers of the last of their #VeryLives?? It’s a disgusting situation, as though #ArchieBunker himself HAD to be punished ‼️ Will they confront their OWN betrayal of Mothers, of Children, of Unions, of Minimum Wage and of Education 👈🏾💔
In case anyone wonders why I referenced #ArchieBunker, whilst they closed the door on the #WhiteWorkingClass, they #Slammed it shut upon the #BlackWorkingClass who were in School, and Making #Gains of which they should be proud. They cared even less about the #Ghettos which they: Very Disgustingly #Re-Named #InnerCities !!

He actually hated the movie Caligula, because the directors turned it into a porn movie instead of what Vidal wanted: to show another side of the Roman Republic/Empire. There is a book though based on his script, it's called Gore Vidal's Caligula.. too many sex scenes but it does show that ugly yet intersting side of ancient Rome. Although I haven't yet erad Vidal' script so I can't judge the book vis a vis that.
I havent voted since I've turned 18. Im only 26...but I dont think ill ever vote. I have 2 kids, and I was recently hit with a letter from the state saying I am being forced to insure my children..I have had them on medicare or medicaid. one of those. but now I am being forced to pay 320$ a month. I wasnt even asked how much I make a year, and every where i apply, I am denied. Our country is goin to shit. I grew up without parents, and I just dont know what to do anymore. I agree with you:)

"Congress doesn't represent ANYBODY!"
"And the Supreme Court, I must say, uh: why some of them are not in jail, I don't know!"
A few more now. God, what a brilliant man. Why didn't I discover him sooner?
He should have run for President after Nixon. He would have won.
Sleep well my Prince, you will ne'er be forgot.
RIP Gore Vidal
I think Old Gore has a few under his belt in this interview. Good for him.
My thoughts exactly.. He has a sort of fireside gentleman sharing a drink voice anyway, but in all the talks i've heard THIS one is a drinking toasting chat superb! "Good for him".
What the hell Amy. You had Gore going full speed and you didn't stretch your programme to do him justice. What is wrong with you people?
at 6k views, no thumbs downs... so i think only people who get it are watching. it's funny to see there's no one bothering to oppose vidal!
If only Gore lived long enough to give it to you, Amy!!

Legend Sir vidal

you can see Amy is beaming to have Gore regale her.. She's barely having to speak, just let the autodidad go.
thanks. Sad though that my little mistake probably erased any chance you'd be impressed by my usage of that word.
Empires dont last forever, i like to see the American empire ends soon, then we will have a better world.
Neoliberal Ideas have no State.
Do they mean the 9/11 Omission Report or the Warren Omission Report?

"How they allow him to say ridiculous things and get away with it." Maybe its fortunate that Gore missed the Trump presidency.

Compelling as Caligula, His oligarchs to see, turning in His white house, marble cool and free.
