Talk:Gore Vidal

Sorry to see that the full page of Vidal quotes from Esquire have been reduced to but five—the least interesting of them. Particularly note that his comment "Everything on Wikipedia is wrong" got culled. Guess I'll know better than to waste my time contributing here. ~F.N. Wombat, 8 Feb 2009

 * To David Dimbleby during BBC election coverage, following announcement of the victory of Barack Obama in the 2008 US presidential election: "I don't know why you're asking me - I don't even know who you are."...

I have two more (the first of three is already listed) alleged quotes for Gore Vidal:
