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.

You know perfectly well what Pat meant. The "Amen Corner" consists of the right wing Christian dupes who, along with American Jews and Israel were the ONLY supporters of the first Gulf War.
Can't. No time now. I'm too busy hunting for Joooos under my sofa.
Where did I ever write Fulani moved to the Constitution Party?
You rail against Buchanan being called an anti-Semite, yet you take one of his most notorious phrases, for which he was accused of anti-Semitism, and cut out all of the notorious verbiage, reducing it to an anti-Semitic code word.
Personally, I never accused Buchanan of being an anti-Semite for using that particular phrase -- you know, the one you don't have the guts to quote in toto -- but if YOU use it in such a sneaky manner, it must have an anti-Semitic meaning for you that you embrace. Otherwise, why the word games?
Next thing, you'll be pulling out the old "anti-Semitism smear" to innoculate yourself against any and all criticism.
BTW, the Gerries insisted, initially, that there were NO Waffen-SS buried in Bitburg. Plan B was to claim that the Waffen-SS were just elite soldiers, rather than war criminals. I recall a party I attended at the time, in South Germany, where a young fellow insisted, indignantly, that his father had served in the Waffen-SS, and that they had a clean record. I reminded him of their "clean" machine-gunning of American POWs in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge, and he shut up.
Speaking about Pat's running mate, I wrote, "She moved out of the Reform Party right behind Pat. She's an active member of the Constitution Party."
Well, I had appreciated his populist message and concern for American workers. Also I thought I'd found some common ground with someone on this, but now this person is an unabashed Bush-basher and I'm getting pretty sick of hearing it, so I'm voting for the President even if just out of spite for all the historical and nonsensical attacks by nonthinking sycophants who hate him.
Pat is Catholic. And it doesn't make you a Catholic Basher. That's fair and I agree. Why not the same in that ' it doesn't make Pat an anti semite' either.
Pat admired the 'little general'
Who doesn't?
Did you mean "the little corporal"?
He never did! Show me! Not by what others said but by what he said.
No need to hunt, you can't miss it . It's sorta like 'blacks' in basketball or 'Hispanics' in baseball. Reality is reality, am I being too un-PC for you?
I guess you must be puzzled by how I got past all the PC re-education that's been going on during Clinton's reign.
WHY ARE YOU SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEAMING?
He never did! Show me! Not by what others said but by what he said.
My pleasure. Just hit the link at #127, read Pat in his own words, and then take about ten aspirin, with or without a fifth of scotch.
