Since I brought up the whole “Steyn is the Brigitte Bardot of Canada” business, several readers have emailed me this link to the IMDB page on BB, which features, in what’s otherwise a gallery of movie stills, this terrific photo of Bardot & Buckley – Brigitte shaking hands with WFB at El Morocco back in 1965.

I wonder if, among all the tributes to Bill, we didn’t pay enough attention to his sheer cool. It was very important to the nascent conservative movement, and we could use a bit more of it today.
