Well you are more informed than I am...I only saw Pat on Scarborough Country a couple of times...he seemed well conservative. I figured when you lose an election, you may be bitter for quite a while (McCain is an example although I don't think he was ever as bitter as Buchanan judging from your post). I was wondering if maybe Buchanan doesn't want Kerry to be President more than he hates Pres. Bush. I can see from looking at your post (good points) that this is probably naive on my part. This is off topic, but what has happened to Joe Scarborough? I caught part of his show and had to turn it off. It was a Kerry love fest pretty much from start to finish. He certainly did not discuss the whole Swift Boat issue fairly to say the least. I am not watching any shows on MSNBC anymore.
I don't watch much TV and only watched his show a couple of times. It just didn't grab my attention.
It's like Sean Hannity (I'm going to get flammed here and Sean, if you're reading this sorry). I like Sean Hannity, I really do.
BUT...Sean is a very passionate person who really believes in what he believes. I like that a lot. Where I start to back away from Sean is how he treats some guests (ala Michael Medved). He will start bombarding them with questions and points, prevent them from providing a full answer and sometimes comes across as condescending (which is probably not intentional).
There are times when I (seldom any more) watch the show and think that I'd rather have lunch and a political conversational with Alan Combs; who is usually just the opposite of Sean.
When I do watch TV I usually tend to stick with Fox.
Joe Scarborough has gone over to the Dark Side. I don't watch him or Chrissy....Dennis Miller on CNBC is GREAT..watch it!
