William F. Buckley had the most fake sounding speaking voice ever. And we’ll miss that voice.
He made sentences like the grand Mississippi, muddied through his ‘where is he from?’ accent and dripping wet with intellectual hubris.
He always looked as though he smelled of cognac and the well cared-for vaginas of blue blooded high society lovers.
He was a cross between Obi Wan Kenobi, the rich British guy Robin Colcord from Cheers, and Higgins from Magnum P.I.
Bill, we’ll miss you.
