Posted at 6:40 AM on February 28, 2008 by Bob Collins (0 Comments)

There have been many eloquent words written in the last day or so about the death on Wednesday of William F. Buckley Jr. Many conservatives pointed out that it was Buckley who led them to their philosophy.

For others, it was Buckley's and Gore Vidal's 1968 debates that led them to the passion behind politics and the art of personal punditry.

See? Bloggers didn't invent this stuff.
