February 28, 2008 By admin

“Some of Buckley’s best lines were uttered in court during a lengthy libel trial in the ’80s against National Review brought by the Liberty Lobby, which was then countersued by National Review. (The Liberty Lobby lost and NR won.)

“In response to another of Lane’s questions, Buckley said: ‘I decline to answer that question; it’s too stupid.’

“When asked if he had ‘referred to Jesse Jackson as an ignoramus,’ Buckley said, ‘If I didn’t, I should have.'”
