Lillis is on the phone reporting or something, so I'm going to steal his thunder on this press release Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell just sent out about the late William F. Buckley.
Bill Buckley inspired us with the passion and conviction of his life. And when we learned that he had died in his study, he inspired us by his death.
Um, dude. What were you inspired to, you know, do?

Um, dude. He was inspired to follow his beliefs, in an active and intelligent way, right up to the end of his life. Dude.

I agree with Spencer. Regardless of it’s meaning it was a very convoluted statement. There must have been a better way of expressing it. Dude.

Actually, Mitch’s press release does illustrate how Buckley came to be regarded as such a mental giant.
Intellectually, Bill was a very tiny frog in an even tinier pond.
