In response to Secret Agent.
Baldwin's bit was pitch-perfect, as expected, but I don't have the patient to sit through Buckley's pompous bullshit, particularly when he opens with a desire to remove Balwin's ethnicity from the argument and deal with him "as a white man." Someone should have decked that windbag right there.
