Channel 4 News interview with Gore Vidal.
Source: Channel 4.

Earlier this evening, we saw an interview with Gore Vidal, conducted by Channel 4 newscaster Jon Snow which was absoutely hilarious.

To give you something of the flavour of it, he baldly stated that the elections had been stolen, and when asked whether he thought anger was a great gift, Gore replied, "Oh yes" and then roared, "because I'm ready to kill!!!!!"... followed by great hilarity.

I'll have to phone Channel 4 in the morning, because I believe a more extended version of the interview may be shown tomorrow, or pretty soon - unless we missed it tonight. We thought Snow had said it would follow the News, but it didn't. I don't want to miss it.

1. Hi, would that be this?
(just starting to check it out: could this be "counter-spin"? (haven't listened/visualised yet).

(You should specify: Gore Vidal, or such, BTW, to distinguish between that (fine, grave) man and Al (mainstream DC Gore (also heavy enough))...

Thanks for calling attention. It is not at all funny, what's going on. Around here, (young) guys are talking to (young) girls about organising supplies and heading for several days and nights in bunkers (so what's new? (that was supposed to be funny, btw)).

5. Repost, somewhere else, maybe Cabot, Judi?
I think maybe I damaged it. I'd better vanish, again, for a while...

:hi: :-)
