Another clip of humorist P.J. O’Rourke, albeit a long one. In March 2009 he was invited to speak at the annual Tom Wolfe Seminar/Lecture at Washington and Lee University. Wolfe himself introduces P.J., which is almost as long as the lecture itself. Even creepier, the lecture takes place at Lee Chapel, where Robert E. Lee is buried right behind the rostrum.
Comments and critiques are welcome, as always.
