I just discovered this and did a search to see if anyone else had found it!
I was really annoyed that the stupid interviewer wouldn't let him elaborate on RP. he was just getting started.

Someone needs to tell Gore Vidal that RP didn't ask for funds on the Internet.
That it was the REVOLUTION talking!!!

I'm just in the middle of a collection of essays by this wonderful author. " Perpetual War For Perpetual Peace."
He sounds staunchly libertarian and a constitutionalist. Would like to legalize drugs as he understands that the drug laws criminalize so many. Pity he is so old. He'd be a great public ally!!

Bump.

Here Gore Vidal alludes to the Ron Paul Revolution (with or without knowing it), at the end:

Gore Vidal is wrong about Dr. Paul asking for funds on the 16th. It was the grassroots.

Thanks Paulitician. That was excellent. It was done in 2005 and his prophecy is coming to fruition. Except Dr Paul, despite being 72, is not dried up and thank God, does not come from Iowa.
I also enjoyed him slagging off Lincoln. Tell the Shuster that one of America's finest intellectuals thinks Lincoln trashed the constitution and perhaps he won't call him a 'crackpot' any more.
