art buchwald died the way he had lived - he gave us a laugh :
"By all rights I should have finished my time [in hospice] five or six weeks ago - at least that's all Medicare would pay for "
Art Buchwald on his final illness
remember those zingers :
'Richard Nixon was a favourite target, with Buchwald saying he worshipped "the very quicksand he walks on". '
i really missed his TV appearances after he stopped appearing as a "commentator" :wink: ; he was one of the great humorists imo .
i read pretty well all his books , and i think it's about time i dig them up again .
just think of the comments he would be able to make of the situation in iraq - it would be priceless !
