1. I can't help it: the interviewer is a jerk. He is constantly suggesting how old
Gore Vidal is and that he is going to die and whether he is OK with that. What an ass. Polite ass.

2. He seems a little green -- I didn't find him to be...
...that much of a distraction though. What I didn't like was seeing Gore looking so frail.

3. Very much agreed - Gore is a tough old fellow, but he is certainly looking frail...
I think his mental and spiritual toughness will keep his fire alight, and his acceptance of his physical decline is gracious. Still, it is sad to see. He has fought so well and for so very long, to speak truth to the American public, against all odds - we owe him a great debt of gratitude.

:patriot:

On a lighter note - I bet he enjoyed the concerts this weekend and the love expressed for "cousin Al" - :-)

4. You're right, we certainly do owe him a great debt...
...he is a beacon of light in this dark fog surrounding us.

5. Thanks for this video....
...as always, he's spot-on. I'm glad Gore mentioned "Creation". What a wonderful book.
