Gore Vidal was a guest on Bill Maher's show tonight; it was a pleasure to see Gore Vidal.. I actually didn't know he was still alive. He is in his dotage now and was in a wheelchair, but he still has a full head of hair and his wit is still sharp as ever.
A self named iconoclast, when Maher asked Vidal "What do you think about Sarah Palin?" he replied "I don't think about her at all--and I have no impression she's thinking either."
Maher: "Hugh Hefner was a contemporary--what do you think about him?" Vidal: "Oh he's likeable. You can't avoid some people."
I enjoyed seeing and hearing the great man.
