“Frequently, I’ve come to regret things I’ve said. This, from 2001, is not one of those times.”
Sheesh, I'd think less of Bourdain if he DIDN'T say that! Good riddance to bad rubbish. Kissenger can kiss my ass!
Bourdain had personal experience with Cambodia and saw exactly what Kissinger wrought and the effects that were still plaguing the country decades later.
Tony was right.
Rest in piss, kiss
Narrator: Yes.
2023 kinda rocked. Pat Robinson, died during pride month, Charlie munger, and Henry kissinger both died in November.
I can't think of anyone else but a good deal of scum bags dying make this world a better place.
Always out live your enemies. I'm rooting for Warren buffet and Bill O'Reilly to croak in the next few years.
What did Warren Buffett do?
You don't get billions of dollars being a good person. Just remember that.
It says Bourdain was one of Kissinger's fiercest critics. I haven't seen any articles about how much Christopher Hitchens criticized Kissinger. He even wrote a book about it.
In the words of Hitchens, Kissinger deserves prosecution "for war crimes, for crimes against humanity, and for offenses against common or customary or international law, including conspiracy to commit murder, kidnap, and torture." He further calls him "a stupendous liar with a remarkable memory."
And if I recall correctly, Hitchens at one point was asked whether there was a person he genuinely disliked, and from the way he spoke about him, it seems like he probably actually hated Henry Kissinger.
Bourdain was a much more colorful writer.
Bourdain did. Shame he died.
It just shows how hard mental illness is to overcome when even someone who embraces life as fully as he did couldn't stand to live anymore.
No wanting to live anymore doesn’t mean a person is mentally ill.
Bourdain based confirmed
Yes, Anthony Bourdain was a better judge of character than Hillary Clinton.
