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 !

A bad liver is to a Frenchman what a nervous breakdown is to an American. Everyone has had one and everyone wants to talk about it.
Art Buchwald

Every time you think television has hit its lowest ebb, a new program comes along to make you wonder where you thought the ebb was.
Art Buchwald

Have you ever seen a candidate talking to a rich person on television?
Art Buchwald

I always wanted to get into politics, but I was never light enough to make the team.
Art Buchwald

I worship the quicksand he walks in.
Art Buchwald

Just when you think there's nothing to write about, Nixon says, "I am not a crook." Jimmy Carter says, "I have lusted after women in my heart." President Reagan says, "I have just taken a urinalysis test, and I am not on dope."
Art Buchwald

People are broad-minded. They'll accept the fact that a person can be an alcoholic, a dope fiend, a wife beater and even a newspaperman, but if a man doesn't drive, there's something wrong with him.
Art Buchwald

Tax reform is taking the taxes off things that have been taxed in the past and putting taxes on things that haven't been taxed before.
Art Buchwald

Television has a real problem. They have no page two.
Art Buchwald

The buffalo isn't as dangerous as everyone makes him out to be. Statistics prove that in the United States more Americans are killed in automobile accidents than are killed by buffalo.
Art Buchwald

The powder is mixed with water and tastes exactly like powder mixed with water.
Art Buchwald

Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got.
Art Buchwald

You can't make up anything anymore. The world itself is a satire. All you're doing is recording it.
Art Buchwald
