Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

Another look back at Bill Buckley

THIS GUY didn’t like America’s preeminent preppy any more than I did.

    David Michael Green….a nobobdy. His whole article follows a familiar theme for you guys (Pat)…focus on his work in the 60’s and the 50’s no less!!!!. Buckley was a prolific writer who published infinitely more than….David Michael Green….is a nobody.

    David Michael Green is not exactly a nobody. He’s an award-winning documentary filmmaker and a professor of political science at Hofstra University. Bill Buckley published a lot more stuff than Green has simply because he was a lot older. I’ve published a lot more stuff than any of the young hotshots at the New York Times or Washington Post, because I’ve been doing it since before their parents even got out of school. Volume of work doesn’t have anything to do with the quality of it, and it certainly doesn’t absolve Buckley of his racist claptrap, the categorical renunciation of which I’ve yet to run across. So there.

    One other thing about David Michael Green: I Googled his name and got more than 37,000 citations, barely a fraction of the number for William F. Buckley, granted, but not exactly what you’d expect for a nobody.

    Until ‘DOCTOR’ David Michael Green can rent space in Wikipedia….he is a nobody. Furthermore, his best arguments (again) only come from the 1950s and 1960s. Hit counts from Google are the new gold standard for warranting sainthood? He couldn’t hold Buckley’s jock strap.
