Bourdain explains Kissinger far better than I ever can:
@gtconway3dsp in a just world, Bourdain would have lived to see 100.
@gtconway3dsp I'm a simple man. I see Bourdain, I boost. I see Kissinger hate, I boost.
@gtconway3dsp Still gutted that Bourdain chose not to outlive Kissinger.

“Frequently, I’ve come to regret things I’ve said. This, from 2001, is not one of those times.”
