My guess, GWB didn't open up a very big can of worms.

It was Buchanan who opened the can of worms.

And one other thing. Buchanan said, "True, U.S. and British troops liberated France, Holland and Belgium from Nazi occupation. But before Britain declared war on Germany, France, Holland and Belgium did not need to be liberated. They were free. They were only invaded and occupied after Britain and France declared war on Germany – on behalf of Poland." Come on Pat! Do you really think Hilter would have left them alone without intervention? Somehow Pat forgot that Alsace/Lorraine had been disputed territory between France and Germany for centuries prior to WWII, and just as the Sudetenland drew Hitler to Czechlosovakia, these would have drawn him to France. And with a Vichy government unencumbered by a resistance supported underground by a strong Allied presence in Europe, France would have been firmly placed within Hitler's permanent grasp.

When Pat throws out historical facts, I am regularly amazed at the brilliance and at the same time shocked that the brilliance of the messenger blinds himself. What an amazing thing to behold.

Pat, we love you as a person, but you've got to come to your senses before we count you among the senile.

Of course it was. And Pat isn't a Republican. It's as representative of Republicans as Howard Dean.
