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.

He'll not change one mind.
He'll only pile on, make
$500K, insure that he's forever
hated by most Republicans,
but, with this book, he'll
get invited on the talk/news shows
that ordinarily ignore him.

Was this written by Rip Van Winkle? Came down from the hills and missed the last . . . who knows who long? This "development" should come as a surprise to no one.

IIRC, Pat Buchanan led the parade to prevent Bush 41 from getting reelected, and IMO is the reason we got Clinton.

He can stick it where the sun don't shine...

Publishing insiders say Buchanan's thoughts on the 43rd president are surprisingly out of character.

Considering that Buchanan ran for president against both 41 and 43, what exactly is "out of character" or surprising about this?

Isn't it interesting, though, that Buchanan got a half million advance to write his anti-Bush screed. I doubt he got any book advances anywhere near that amount when he was still a Republican. And have you noticed how Buchanan's anti-semitism was such an issue back in the day, but now that he's a Bush-basher, it's completely ignored by the media?

Ole Pat is a joke.
He always has been. He says whatever it takes to get him attention. I am still baffled why some would care about anything the man has to say. He is not really a policy expert. He flip flops as much as John Kerry. If you watch him for a week on his shows with folks like Press, you'll see him change his stance on an issue about 3 times.
Whatever works at the moment to get his points and cash.
I have seen him make statements about Iraq, only to wonder if he had actually watched the news for the week before said comments. After listening to some of Pat's doomed idea, it makes me happy that he is not in agreement with Bush. It means Bush is doing thing right.

Something tells me Joe Lieberman won't be one of the democrats lining up to buy the book.

The democratic party should give an award to Pat for all his help over the past decade or two.

Is the same guy I supported and campaigned for in '96?

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."

kattracks, with all well deserved appreciation for your posts which I enjoy every night and hope to be able to enjoy in the future, this thread sadly rates a response of "so?"

[AmericaUnited]

A bitter, old laughing stock!

[garylmoore]

Poor guy is getting senile in his old age, I guess he forgot where his roots are and who he supposed to be a follower of.

JOINING the ranks of Bush-bashing books is one from a most unlikely source.

Just what is so unlikely about Pat Buchanan doing his best to do in a Bush presidency? He has made a career of it!

[gatorbait]

Is anyone truly surprised by his actions? The standard bearer of "true,principled conservatism " basks in his pinkness .

[colemanat]

Pat is in the public eye only because liberals use him to show how screwed up conservatives are.
Does anyone think that the liberals at MSNBC or the McLaughlan Group would give a voice to conservatives like Walt Williams or Thomas Sowell, or even Newt Gingrich?
( Tony Blankley is however an excellent voice. )
Pat is to liberals what Nader is to conservatives, a useful idiot.

[montag813]

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.

[Dawgreg]

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!

[BlueAngel]

President Bush has never had any use for Buchanan. Buchanan's speech at former President Bush's convention in Houston gave the media and the libs ammunition to criticize Pres. Bush for weeks.

George W. Bush does not forget.

[wasp69]

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.

[jmaroneps37]

Pat who?
