Christopher Buckley is a writer who resists the label of “humorist,” but is, all the same, funny as hell. The well-spoken and self-deprecating Reaganaut scion has written many books (including Little Green Men and Supreme Courtship), and made waves in the 2008 election when he publicly supported then-Senator Obama and incurred the wrath of rabid right-wing “kooks” everywhere. Last night he was a bit (and just a bit) more somber than usual when he sat down with Tina Brown of The Daily Beast to talk about his latest book, Losing Mum and Pup, a memoir of dealing with the recent passing of his famous parents.
