This snippet from #GoreVidal quotes #MichaelFoot defending Peter #Mandelson on the grounds that Peter was the grandson of #HerbertMorrison, a huge figure in the #LabourParty in the 1930s and 1940s.
Is that why Labour not just tolerated #Mandelson, but turned a blind eye to his apparent corruption?
It's like a left-wing version of how snobbery opens doors for the aristocracy. Peter Mandelson was New Labour's aristocracy, a man whose exalted birth excused him from the normal rules.

This astonishing, powerful 1977 debate between #RoyCohn and #GoreVidal would be historic in any context ... but it takes on special importance when you recognize that the loathsome, closeted, career-destroying Cohn was not just the primary defender of Joe McCarthy, but also the most important early mentor of #TFG.

Gore Vidal often referred to his homeland as “the United States of Amnesia,” because we Americans tend to forget our past and repeat our mistakes.

#WritersCoffeeClub 12/7: Favorite Book and why?
There’s so many to choose from, but if I had to pick one that sticks with me, it’s “Creation” by Gore Vidal. The story is about Zoroaster’s grandson as he travels around the world as it was in the sixth century BCE. Read along as Cyrus Spitama leaves his Greek and Persian homelands and visits India, China, and more, all while growing as a person and learning about what it means to be human.

"Politics is made up of two words: "Poli," which is Greek for "many," and "tics," which are bloodsucking insects."
