Not my cup of camomile politically, of course, but he was funny and underneath the whole consciously absurd and flippant act some of the barbs were genuinely sharp, the product of an agile mind capable of thinking quite seriously about serious problems. The interesting thing is that it is hard to imagine the American Right as it is now producing a figure like that: he or she just wouldn't belong, much as O'Rourke didn't towards the end. Can you even imagine the reaction of O'Rourke in, say, 1994 if he were told that he would one day end up casting a vote for Hillary Clinton?
