Ah the ravages of ... ( 1 year ago by vergeharget)
Ah the ravages of age and illness: Roth was an intensely handsome and vital man.
What time hath wrought.

Bush can take it.

moral equivalence ... ( 1 year ago by vergeharget)
moral equivalence between the two "monsters" is an absurdity.

The only thing that ... ( 1 year ago by leafinthehouse)
The only thing that is absurd is your comment sir. There is a great ignorance in this country that is being passed off as objective truth, and most of the country has fallen into that state of what could only be called blindness. Those who stand by Bush are not only oblivious to what's been happening in this country, but are aslo completely lacking a basic perseption of...gasp...reality.
I can't remember ... ( 1 year ago by vergeharget)
I can't remember what I was commenting on: was it a moral equivalence between Bush and Hussein? I have a vague recollection of that; and that is an absurdity. If you disagree: care to step outside--in cyberspace terms--and fight about it?
Itzik Basman
The moral ... ( 1 year ago by dinnerbucket9)
The moral equivalence position is shaky at best and I am surprised that Roth, who is a decidely serious person, so ove-reached. That said, what Bush and his Vulcans have wrought is a far reaching catastrophe. Blood everywhere. Corruption everywhere. Arrongance at every turn. Monstrous, in fact.
Inane and unserious ... ( 1 year ago by dinnerbucket9)
Inane and unserious to invoke the 'raveges of age and illness'. Roth is Americas finest novelist and its most courageous, having produced more great fiction in the last ten years than anyone I can name, and by light years. Name anyone who more bluntly takes on the age and illness?
Array ( 1 year ago by vergeharget)
Dinnerbucket9:
1. Why is it inane and unserious to lament what time's passing has done to Roth? What does that lament have to do with his indisputable greatness as a novelist?
2. Bush is a decidely mixed blessing. But there is I maintain greatness in him to some extent. I say that as a Canadian liberal-centrist who hold no brief for the man.
3. Happy New Year.
Itzik Basman
I actually think ... ( 11 months ago by kerabug)
I actually think that history will be good to Bush as time goes on, as ludicrous as this sounds right now. As things unravel in the Middle East, I think we will see this. Putting Bush even close to the likes of Hitler is quite an overshot.
damn...i knew ... ( 10 months ago by jewfizzle)
damn...i knew nothing about Roth's views on current politics...now i love him even more!
"Same old stuff" ... ( 9 months ago by sd2742)
"Same old stuff" from Roth is always great stuff.

Id rather hear him talk about books
I think he's ... ( 9 months ago by timeforfuntime)
I think he's over-exaggerating a bit about the dire situation that this country is in.
Terrible questions. ( 8 months ago by buzz05232000)
Terrible questions.

he was not a prominent candidate at the time....and gore looked more likely to run....at the time.

i accidentally hit the thumbs down, but I wanted to put thumbs up because I had the exact same reaction. Anne from austin

why do all my friends call me a slut? :\
im so silly xv
I absolutely adhore ... ( 1 month ago by alsmalley)
I absolutely adhore Roth's work. I fear after Kurt vonnegut's death that Roth is one of the few "great" writers alive.
I've read Portnoy's Complaint, The Breast, and most of the Zuckerman novels. And I love his writing style.
Fuckin authors ... ( 1 month ago by somor98)
Fuckin authors thinks they know about politics.

yeah, when you know so much more... man, if only you were in charge, then you'd show 'em, huh? right? am I right??
No, I do not open ... ( 1 month ago by somor98)
No, I do not open my mouth on matters I do not understand.
Besides, being in charge doesn't mean you can do what you want.
not sure you have ... ( 1 month ago by schrire39)
not sure you have made a logical leap there. firstly you say Roth "thinks he knows about politics" implying that only certain people are entitled to have political opinions. then you say "being in charge doesn't mean you can do what you want" well, who is allowed speak out against those "in charge"? unless you think Roth is "in charge" in which case, he's entitlted to an opinion. too many contradictions- you have anger, but no real opinion.
No, there is no ... ( 1 month ago by somor98)
No, there is no logical leap. Saying that they 'think they know' does not imply that only certain people should be entitled to speak their minds on politics.
Who is allowed to speak against those in charge? Well, the courts and the media of course.
I have no anger. But you have no knowledge of neither logic nor politics. Check these books and then come back: Forbes: Modern Logic. David Held: Models of Demcracy. Obviously, you also like to shoot your mouth on things you don't understand.
No, its the old "if ... ( 1 month ago by somor98)
No, its the old "if your arguments are utterly onw-sided and only caters to the populus in order to sell more books, then you probably do not know what you are talking about".
