I had to look up Buckley to determine the origin of his accent. I thought perhaps it was smug british wealth of some kind... nope - (at least according to wikipedia) dude is just a smug dick from New York. His whole demeanor is a put off. He just rambles and tries to sound sophisticated while shifting from topic to topic, all the while refusing to let Noam make even the slightest reference without saying "that's not the point". I don't know if I can stomach part 2, but I will. The saddest part about this is, Neither one of them is able to make a concise point. Buckley seems unable, and Noam is disallowed.

Good post cgod. This is so relevant it hurts.
