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.

Just what is so unlikely about Pat Buchanan doing his best to do in a Bush presidency? He has made a career of it!
Pat was "in the fold" as long as his culture war tirades were aimed only at liberals. When he started to get a few republican/conservatives in his rhetoric spray, suddenly we had to agree Pat was a few fries short of a Happy Meal. And when he started picking apart our latest hero, sometimes with the same hit.miss ratio that he had with his liberal bashing, then suddenly we had to agree, he's an anti-semite.
Pat is always who he has been.
Same one. Pat's always been the same. We're the ones who have changed. His "scope" started to include us in it's sights.
Your intel is bad. She moved out of the Reform Party right behind Pat. She's an active member of the Constitution Party.
Is anyone truly surprised by his actions? The standard bearer of "true,principled conservatism " basks in his pinkness .
Rumor has it "butthead buchanan" will be on the campaign trail with lurch later this year. pat is no longer a Conservative to me, he is a footnote in the book of "Failure"!
LLS
i saw you post this slander before, and i corrected you.; maybe you didn't "get it". Pat Buchanan's running mate in 2000 was Ezola Foster. She is a strict conservative Christian woman and an educator and constantly fights the marxists; she has been on tv and in media interviews exposing the marxist left for years. For you to claim she is a marxist herself is nothing short of pure IDIOCY!!!
do a google search on her for gosh sakes. she inroduced Congressman Tancredo at his rally last november, ( Ever heard of him??) and she is currently a representative for the Constitution party. She has written several books and has always been a staunch anti-communist. I suppose you think Rev. jesse Lee Peterson is 'marxist', too? As he apears at many of the same events she does. LOL! Most recently Ezola Foster appeared at the Terry anderson rally with George Putnam, glenn spencer, assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy, and Sheriff lee Baca, last saturday.
Please stop your bizzare slandering of Buchanans' 2000 running mate.
Buchanan will lose his "conservative" cachet if he pushes Kerry...The media loves him because he is a "conservative" who goes against the Republicans...
No way could he be the "conservative" media voice and back liberal Kerry( less money for TV, articles and books for Buchanan in the long run?)
Note to Pat, if you are so RIGHT how is that you can't get elected to anything?
The first title Pat came up with "How Filthy Jews Derailed America" was evidently not accepted by his publisher.
Michael Moore, Pat Buchanan, Lenora Fulani...
It's getting hard to tell the difference anymore.
Pat Buchannan is a legend in his own mind. He and Dick Morris should start a comedy team and go on the road. They're both jokes! Sheesh!
Even his sister Bay has split from his lunacy. Pat should STFU and retire to Ireland where Marxism and Bush hating is widely embraced.
George W. Bush does not forget.
I used to have some respect for Pat and some of his views. But now, he only serves to put the rest of us in danger.
Pat who?
Buchanan is an irrelevant wannabe who pouts because he is irrelevant.
