Chris Buckley For Obama?

By The Daily Dish

Put gently:

“The satirist in me cries out for a McCain-Palin administration. This would be an embarrassment of riches,” Christopher Buckley, famed wit and son of William F., tells me. Alas, he’s a reluctant Obamacon “I think he has a first-class temperament” even though he fears that a Barack Obama presidency will be “boring.” Trying to cheer himself up, he allows that Joe Biden will probably provide some “comic fodder.”

It's very hard for me to imagine Bill Buckley embracing the moronic pseudo-populism of Palin.
