Gore Vidal

Gore Vidal passed away today.

"The United States was founded by the brightest people in the country - and we haven't seen them since."

"At any given moment, public opinion is a chaos of superstition, misinformation, and prejudice."

"A narcissist is someone better looking than you are."

This is what that cunt had to say about the 13-year-old girl Roman Polanski raped. He was a real nice guy.

The rest of that interview. Still bizarre.

I’ve certainly never heard that take on the story before.

GV: First, I was in the middle of all that. Back then, we all were. Everybody knew everybody else. There was a totally different story at the time that doesn’t resemble anything that we’re now being told.

What do you mean?

GV: The media can’t get anything straight. Plus, there’s usually an anti-Semitic and anti-fag thing going on with the press – lots of crazy things. The idea that this girl was in her communion dress, a little angel all in white, being raped by this awful Jew, Polacko – that’s what people were calling him – well, the story is totally different now from what it was then..

wait, toast, the guy who regularly says incredibly racist shit is criticizing gore vidal for being profane and careless?

duovamp · 08-01-2012, 11:49 AM

The small string of text I see from a person as my only means of representation can't possibly come from a complex individual such as myself.

duovamp · 08-01-2012, 12:08 PM

Nobody here is scared of homosexuality.
