Bill Buckley Saw The "Stupid Police" Thing Coming

William F. Buckley, Jr. famously said:
I am obliged to confess I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University.
Reflecting on the controversy surrounding the conduct and arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., I propose an amendment to Buckley's statement:
I am obliged to confess I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory [Cambridge Police] than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University.

  1. Barry was stupid and wrong to comment on this case. It is obvious he was trying to show some sort of "black solidarity" thing. The man with two mouths is one of the more divisive presidon'ts we've ever had.
