June 17, 2004 -- JOINING the ranks of Bush-bashing books is one from a most unlikely source. The Thomas Dunne imprint of St. Martin's Press has agreed to pay around $500,000 to Pat Buchanan for an anti-Dubya book to be called "Where the Right Went Wrong."The proto-conservative will blast the Bush Administration for behaviors both domestic and foreign. He is particularly scornful of the U.S. foreign policy that has "ignited a war of civilizations" with the Islamic world.
Publishing insiders say Buchanan's thoughts on the 43rd president are surprisingly out of character.
"They could put Michael Moore on the jacket of this book, and people would believe he wrote it," one said.

As far as the '92 election goes, Pat was instrumental in convincing the American electorate that Republicans were dangerous nutcases by his maniac speech, and his statements. Besides, what kind of abysmal fool runs a campaign of "culture war" when the electorate is primarily concerned with the economy, as it was then?
He wasn't 100% responsible, Ross Perot gets the lion's share of the "spoiler" award, but Pat sure helped drive some votes away!
Oh, and your "corner"...you mean "AMEN" corner, don't you?
You probably have no idea of why that's so ignorant, either.
IMO, reply #61 is not a joke, but the truth.
Oh BTW, what do you mean as "face", Pat's bust of himself in his house or when pat is basically doing a monica towards bill press on MSNBC.
Oh, PLEEEASe, Pat, don't smash me up!!!
ROFLMAO! You guys really do sound like schoolboys sometimes.
"I bet you wouldn't repeat that "joke" to his face."
LOL!
I thought Mike Deaver was responsible for Bitburg.
Pat use to write agressively pro Israel editorials. What happened?
ROTFLMAO
Pat wrote the speach extolling the buried SS troops as ...victims just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps. When the expected uproar ensued, Pat's widely credited with complaining that we must not succumb to the Jewish pressure, reminding Jewish leaders they're "Americans first".
By not honoring the SS I'm not an American? Pat's a buffoon.
In post # 2 you wrote, "Pat Buchanan stopped being a conservative when he started hanging out with that Marxist running mate of his on the Reform Party ticket in 2000."
In your post # 46 you write, "....Buchanan's 2000 VP candidate, Ezola Foster, might be a member of Howard Phillip's Constitution Party."
When was Ezola Foster ever a member of the Communist Party, USA - as you declared in your post # 2?
Must be tough being a Pat supporter, spending all your time explaining that Pat didn't do what he did and didn't say what he said.
I sure would... in an instant.
Boycott Buchanan and that idiotic network that has him on: MSNBC
Maybe, next to that swastika?
This should give Bush a 2-4% bump in the polls. Kinda hard for the Democrats to portray Bush as a right wing extremist with Pat around.
Pat, IMO, was faulting the Congress, et al, as being overly biased against the Palistinians, and orchestrated by Israeli sympatizers, hence mostly Jews, or in his terms, the 'amen corner'.
Incidentally it would probably include the likes of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell who are referred to by the 'amen corner' as the 'fanatical right'.
Go figger
Foolish is the word for it. Interestingly, Pat (an engineer in his former life?) came up with the same idea Friedrich P. Berg did in the Journal of Historical Review. I know, "someone sent it to him" (his excuse), he doesn't actually read revisionist journals. Writes about it well, though, no wonder the Spotlight picked up his column, among others.
Ah, but that river continues to run through Egypt apace.
