 Gore Vidal on the American EmpirePosted on Apr 16, 2007
Gore Vidal reads from his essay, “Hail and Farewell: the End of the American Empire.” The iconic author, historian and patriot suggests that perhaps there’s a more sinister explanation for the president’s fiascos than mere incompetence: he’s out to destroy the American empire.

George W Bush must have lost his mental capacity (or) he is deliberately trying to destroy America.

Gore Vidal is trenchant, acerbic and relevant as usual but there is one glaring inaccuracy for which he should be ashamed. Robert Duval, a brilliant actor, as we know, was fired before the opening and replaced by Ted Van Gretheisen (sp). I know, I understudied both and played Ottakur’s unflinchingly loyal lieutenant with “Perfect Courage, Absolute Sincerity, Complete Faith, Total Obedience. ” Best Regards, Gore, Ed Sherin.

POWERFUL INDICTMENT OF OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT AND HIS WAY OF GOVERNING OR NON-GOVERNING. IF HE IS NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS TRASHING OF ALL WE HOLD DEAR, I DO THINK WE LOSE THE USA AS WE HAVE KNOWN IT.
