“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.
Michael Jordan is a billionaire. Peter Jackson, McKenzie Scott, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg. Tiger Woods may be a bad husband, but that’s not how he made his money. Dolly Parton would be a billionaire if she hadn’t given away so much, she’s definitely earned a billion.
Michael Jordan is a piece of shit person so don’t know what your point with that one is.
Can confirm. I used to serve him at my old restaurant over a decade ago. He was always an asshole.
McKenzie Scott
Is absolutely a good person, but all the cash she’s giving away is cash that her ex-husband Jeff Bezos didn’t give away, and continues to make through truly repulsive anti-worker practices.
When you are a worker at Amazon, you literally have to redirect your bodily functions (either hold it or find a jug) to even begin to meet the inhuman production standards, and that’s before you get to all the safety violations, unionbusting, etc. Then there’s Amazon business model itself: the open embracing of counterfeit goods, refusal to police its own site adequately, fake reviews, dark patterns, etc.
MacKenzie Scott is indeed a good person. We know this because she found life with one of the world’s worst people to be unsustainable and left, and then set about giving away all that dirty cash to make the world a better place. But she doesn’t belong on this billionaire list, IMO, as she is simply a divorcée with a payout and secondary to the guy who actually made the billions.
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.
Bourdain based confirmed
Yes, Anthony Bourdain was a better judge of character than Hillary Clinton.
