A classic from the old codger:
"Q. Andrew Sullivan seems to not like you, handing out Derbyshire Award Nominations in mockery of you. Any idea how that started? Like, did you run over his dog?
John Derbyshire: My private theory is that he is trying to make himself sexually attractive to me in some way I don’t really understand. I have had trouble with homosexuals all my life, I don’t know why. They can be very persistent.
Q. When he’s finished handing out Derbyshire Award Nominations, will you be at the award ceremony to present the Derbyshire Award?
A. I don’t think so. I’d get flustered, having his eyes on me all the time.
Q. I heard that you got Andrew Sullivan fired from the NY Times by spreading rumors that he is gay. Is there any truth to what I just made up?
A. You seem to have some kind of obsession with Andrew Sullivan. Why is that?
Q. It’s now well known that you were an uncredited thug in a Bruce Lee movie. What exactly does a thug have to do to get credit?
A. See?—Sullivan, Sullivan, Sullivan. I really think you have issues here."
I should say I have given up trying to get mad at Derbyshire. The interview is hilarious.
