From a reader; too cute not to share: “What If WFB Had a Blog”:
Went on a Fox News show called “Hannity and Colmes” to promote the new book.
Mrs. Buckley suggested afterwards that my oratorical metabolism,
uncompensated by gesticular flourishes, seemed phlegmatic compared to
masters Hannity and Colmes. She recommended an aperitif in the Green Room
before Hardball.

Spent the morning at the NR office followed by lunch at an Indian food
restaurant called “Curry in a Hurry” at Lowry’s suggestion. Some have
questioned handing over the NR reins to someone so young but they forget I
began National Review at a younger age. Lowry’s choice in restaurants does
give me pause though…

The thought of Catholic politicians who openly controvert Church teaching
receiving at the communion rail is reminiscent of the bride who, expert in
matters carnal and caught in flagrante delicto with the postman, still
chooses the whitest white in wedding apparel. The small hypocrisy of the
shade of gown pales before the taking of Communion, so the bishops must
untangle a twisted skein given the on-going, unrepentent nature of the sin.
The bedlamitic uncle in this attic appears to be the fact that John Kerry
could not successfuly export his odious views on human life issues but for
the enabling votes of millions of Catholics, begging the larger issue of an
apparently new thing – the wholesale disregard the majority of Western
Catholics have shown towards the Magisterium in their discarding of Humane
Vitae and support for pro-choice political candidates.

Received a call from Don King, the fight promoter, regarding a possible
allumette-vers le haut between myself and Gore Vidal. I replied in the
negative.
