I used to be a much more liberal mindset that I am presently.
I tolerated other libtards in my midst to a much greater degree than I do now. One of those was Gore Vidal. He was a hoity toity man of aires and pretentiousness who was a fairly prolific author with a writing style entirely too similar to my own ...
He practiced all manner of activism and debauchery during his life time. His political inclinations were downright nauseating.
Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and self agrandizing intellectual known for his succinct and often clever witty reparte and aphorisms, aristocratic manner, and a writing style which exhibited those characteristics to a tee.
He was openly bisexual and his novel works often flaunted the LGBT lifestyle to the point that he set a precendent for such drivel at the time ... hence my utter disdain.
He pursued political office several times having been the products of conception of a political family. His commentary and essays portrayed The Republic as that same type of decadent and debauched thing he was.
He was all over the magazines of the time anxious to relate any and all manner of the liberal and profane.
He passed from pneumonia and the consequences of a neurologic disorer at the advanced age of 86 years. He was memorialized in New York which is like Los Angeles — precisely where he belonged.
I've read several of his books over the years and though our politics and attitudes differ by a great margin he made his mark on the world whereas I have not even attempted go there, opting for a low profile as it were.
Good riddance to the pervert and that stain and taint he placed upon the humanity.
