    I'm sure he will worm his way into Satan's cabinet in short order.

    That is the nicest thing I could think of to say about the dead. I've been trying for half an hour.

    Anthony Bourdain: "Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević."

    Tom Lehrer (mid-20'th century American satirist musician): 'When Kissinger won the Nobel peace prize, satire died."

    Jimmy Carter may not reach his goal of outliving the last Guinea Worm, but at least he outlived Kissinger.

    Ben Wittes with best take I have seen

    Henry Kissinger was an overrated gasbag, who achieved fame by being proudly amoral in a world in which it had become normal to purport to stand for something.
    In this proud amorality, he sometimes advanced the U.S. national interest and sometimes damaged it—along with countless human lives. But he always advanced his own interests, and his wildly inflated reputation.
    What his detractors and sycophants have in common is the tendency to overstate his influence and significance.
