Buchanan is an irrelevant wannabe who pouts because he is irrelevant.

Buchanan is a failed politician, a failed conservative, a mental midget who has been wrong on just about everthing he has backed. Only MSNBC would have a home for him.

For all this emnity Buchanan has for the Bush family, one might conclude that the Bushes were Joooos.

Pat Buchanan, Nearly Destroyed the Republican Party's Integrity, by trying to represent the Republican Party as some kind of far right wing extremist group. I am not sure that Pat Buchanan speaks from Conviction, or is just another "cheap Media Whore", like Michael Moore. I mean after all....Pat Buchanan worked for CNN in it's heyday as the "liberal voice".

Everything Pat Buchanan has ever done has been against the Republican Party, either my misrepresenting himself as a Republican, or as a Conservative. If Pat Buchanan endorses John Kerry, then that proves what I have said is the truth. Pat Buchanan has always been an operative for the DNC.

Ping. Patsy and his marks are back. We've even got some of what I'd call "supermarks" on this one.

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

Illustrating that "publishing insiders" are not surprisingly stupid.

"Is America prepared to pay the price of empire?...Judging from the stunned reaction among our political and journalistic elites, to the first resistance in a war (Iraq) that is going remarkably well, the answer is no."

Pat is being quoted here.

I guess he has become one of the stunned journalistic elites.

Buchanan always was a nitwit. He calls himself a real conservative, yet he's anything but. He finds more in common with liberal Democrats than he does with Republicans, on issues like free-trade and having a pro-active security policy.

And someone needs to inform this goosestepper that the "war of civilizations" was begun not by the US, but when Muslims flew planes into our buildings. But I guess Pat has become part of the "blame America first" crowd. Then again, we know why Pat finds such sympathy for Muslims and particularly Saddam's Iraq...they're good old-fashioned Jew haters like he is. Go back under your rock you freaking cockroach.

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

About as unlikely as Michael Moore!! Go Pat stopped being a Conservative when he became anti-Free Trade! Found there is a great cottage industry for people who get 1% of the vote by bashing Republicans! Get Lost Pat Get Lost!

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.

Hey Pat must be right again because there is no refutation of what is in this book. Just like on his A Republic, Not an Empire. We get the usual character assassination and the Goebbel's book burning because opposing Bush is anti-Semitic.

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."

An Unlikely source????

Where as this dude been ???

I can't remember a time where Pat was every on President Bush's side

This Post item with its unnamed source isn't the clearest or most reliable indication of what Buchanan's book will be, so people who want to make an accurate assessment will have to wait until the book or excerpts from it are published.

Buchanan tends to become the issue himself, rather than what he actually says. And there's some reason for that: some of his columns about WWII were scandalous. While some of the charges against Pat may be unsubstantiated or exaggerated, it's understandable that many wrote him off after reading his column on Hitler or on the concentration camp and carbon monoxide.

Buchanan does show a weakness for loony dissident theories about history. The number of Rockwellite cultists he has writing for his magazine is disquieting. More than any other commentator or politician he seems to have a good and a bad angel on his shoulder, and when the time comes to rise to the occasion, he often gives into temptation and sinks, as he did at the 1992 convention.

But Buchanan aside, isn't there much concern that the GOP has lost its way on some issues, like international trade and immigration? Or that they've embraced global markets to the detriment of what was once thought of as the national interest? Or that the Bush administration has moved away from more traditional conservative restraint in international affairs to embrace a far more ambitious world changing agenda?

Some conservatives of Buchanan's generation -- John McLaughlin and Robert Novak are the most prominent examples -- aren't so enthusiastic about current foreign policy, either. Those who lived through Europe's colonial wars, our Vietnam involvement, and all the ups and downs of the Cold War aren't always enthusiastic about our ability to stick to a radical nation-building project overseas for any length of time or about the gratitude foreigners will have for our efforts.

Pat Buchanan came out of a similar environment to William F. Buckley and shared many of the enthusiasms Buckley's National Review had in its early years: McCarthy, Franco, segregation, South Africa. Some or all of these have since been discredited -- admittedly with the benefit of hindsight.

Conservatives have moved on from where Pat and Bill were in the 1960s, but Pat has been more reluctant and tended to drag his feet. I guess the question is whether National Review's current enthusiasm with "nation building" and "go it alone" wars will stand up to the scrutiny of history, or whether it too will be shown to have been mistaken.

Would you expect less from disgruntled, isolationist Pat Buchanan?

He's a sour puss with a chip on his shoulder. If he ran for President he'd guarantee a Demoncrat would win.

"He is particularly scornful of the U.S. foreign policy that has "ignited a war of civilizations" with the Islamic world."

practically since its inception the goal of islam has been to kill jews and christians.
