Which is not correct but has been very successfully used politically.
    Ian Hunter, of course! A BRILLIANT man.

    This is the well know incident between William Buckley and Gore Vidal
    that occurred during ABC's coverage of the
    1968 Democratic convention in Chicago.
    This version has slightly better sound quality and syncronization.

    a know bout William Buckley vs Gore Vidal feud.

    Best Of Enemies Official Trailer (2015) - Gore Vidal, William F. Buckley Jr. HD

    Best of Enemies' is a documentary about the legendary series of nationally televised debates in 1968 between two great public intellectuals, the liberal Gore Vidal and the conservative William F. Buckley Jr. Intended as commentary on the issues of their day, these vitriolic and explosive encounters came to define the modern era of public discourse in the media, marking the big bang moment of our contemporary media landscape when spectacle trumped content and argument replaced substance. Best of Enemies delves into the entangled biographies of these two great thinkers and luxuriates in the language and the theater of their debates, begging the question, 'What has television done to the way we discuss politics in our democracy today?'

    I'll add Johnny Carson to this thread. He was THE smartest and most clever talk show host all-time. No one is CLOSE to being as good as he was.

    I'll add Frank Zappa to this thread. He was a BRILLIANT musician, able to record music in MANY different genres. Including rock and roll, jazz, and classical, and everything in between these genres. He was a clever lyricist, as well as an amazing guitarist. Just a fantastic musician.

    I'll add news journalist and news commentator Tucker Carlson to this thread. He is BRILLIANT.
