Actually, I don’t see Buckley disinheriting a bastard grandchild as particularly scummy. He probably reasoned that the mother would have/finagle legal control of the child’s inheritance.

Furthermore, though unlikely a consideration of Buckley’s, Noah did worse to his grandchild: rather than witholding blessing (inheritance), he actively cursed his presumably legitimate grandson Canaan for Ham’s actions.

Well, at least the money that Christopher will get will be more than enough for many illegitimate children, assuming of course that the father is responsible.

I don’t know how Buckley’s fans can possibly spin the following ugly fact about their hero, but undoubtedly they will try:

“In his will, William F. Buckley Jr. leaves the contents of his estate to Christopher and the two children he fathered with his wife â€” and leaves no doubt that Jonathan [his illegitimate grandson, fathered by Christopher in an affair with a book publicist] will get none of the money.

“‘I intentionally make no provision herein for said Jonathan, who for all purposes … shall be deemed to have predeceased me,” wrote William Buckley, who died in February.”

It’s one thing to disinherit the trollop who engaged in coitus flagrante with the whoremongering Christopher. It’s quite another to punish the innocent child produced by this illicit union.

Pat Buchanan, Joe Sobran, and many others are now joined by another victim of WFB’s unceasing scumminess: a seven-year-old special needs child.

I’m trying to follow blogger’s etiquette and flag it clearly when I edit an essay after posting. The first version referred to Mark Steyn as a jew. This was due to confusion with another Mark, a particularly kikey figure that appears on Sean Hannity’s program, as well as other circumstantial evidence. I am not the only one; at least one other blogger has documented the many ways in which it appears that Steyn has tried to create an ambiguous persona.

Anyhow, the basic point remains intact, and I changed the reference to be technically accurate.

Reading about Franky Schaeffer lately, makes me wonder if he is still in the Orthodox Church- Greek Archdiocese. Unless the smoking heads in Brookline have abandoned all paternalism, I would think they would agree with the aforementioned post about the commandments, in seeing the latest ‘tell all’ from their rambunctious ‘convert.’ To me, he seems insufficiently converted to either Christianity, OR Orthodoxy!

Interesting analogy though. Frank[y] roared through English l’Abri when I was there in ’79, and he was all about himself even back then. I guess I would say Wm F did more overall harm to the nation only because of his greater prominence.

Buckley on Buckley’s father’s “sins” reminds me of Frank (the old “Franky”) Schaeffer, who now makes a living by running down his parents. The only reason Frank is published is because he runs down not only Reformed Christianity but most of Christianity, and places the guilt for Robertson, Falwell Dobson, etc. at the feet of his father. Pul-lease. Frank’s words are a gross violation of the 5th commandment. But that’s another subject. Thanks for the insight on Buckley.
