<p>BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In "The Great Debate" segment tonight, conservative commentator Pat Buchanan (search), who works at a television network I can't remember the name of, has a new book out called "Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Administration and Hijacked the Bush Presidency." Wow, what a title.</p>

I could be enjoying Thanksgiving weekend but instead I will review Pat Buchanan’s latest book, Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency. Of course, one could legitimately ask why I should give much thought to the ideas of a man who spends much of his time this day on a television network watched by almost as few people than voted for him in the 2000 presidential election. Although Buchanan’s influence may be waning his ideas do have a small following in this country. Many of his ideas, unfortunately, revolve around blaming...

In his latest book "Where the Right Went Wrong" (Thomas Dunne Books), Pat Buchanan provides a sweeping assessment of America's problems, foreign and domestic and he lays out his vision of what needs to be done to successfully fight terrorism abroad and prevent America from becoming a third world nation economically. In an exclusive interview with NewsMax.com, Pat tackled some of the most controversial issues America faces and spelled out his solutions in his usual courageous and straight forward manner. Pat has endorsed President Bush for re-election. He told NewsMax.com why he is backing a president many of whose policies...

Where The Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency. By Patrick J. Buchanan. 264 pp. Thomas Dunne Books/ St. Martin's Press. $24.95. Underneath the pugnacious hide of Patrick J. Buchanan beats a heart of pure nostalgia. He longs to return to the high-tariff reign of William McKinley, mourns the passing of such budget-slashing icons as Robert Taft and Barry Goldwater and dedicates his new book to Ronald Reagan, who, he says, ''never took precipitate or rash action'' abroad. Buchanan's reverence for late, great conservatives is unbounded by epoch or nationality. He even praises...

Patrick J. Buchanan is not done causing trouble for the GOP, a party he loves but which he believes has abandoned many of the core principles of conservatism. Just in time to cause a stir at next week's Republican National Convention, the Trib's regular Wednesday and Saturday columnist, TV pundit, editor of The American Conservative magazine, adviser to three presidents and thrice-defeated presidential candidate has debuted his sixth book, "Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency." Along with strong criticism of President Bush's immigration, trade and social spending policies, the book...

After warning about the "Death of the West," bestselling author and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan now declares: "There is no conservative party left in Washington." Buchanan is set to launch his new work WHERE THE RIGHT WENT WRONG: How Neoconservatives Subverted The Reagan Revolution And Hijacked the Bush Presidency — a work ripe with cutting observation and opinion. RIGHT WENT WRONG is not set for release until September 1, but DRUDGE breaks the embargo on the book: On Conservatives and Conservatism: “There is no conservative party left in Washington.  Conservative thinkers and writers who were to be the watchdogs...

Patrick Buchanan, the conservative commentator whose Republican primary challenge and divisive convention speech weakened the first President Bush's campaign for re-election in 1992, is publishing a book excoriating the second President Bush over the invasion of Iraq, just in time to grab a share of the limelight at another Republican convention. In Where the Right Went Wrong, released late last week, Buchanan calls the invasion of Iraq "the greatest strategic blunder in 40 years, a mistake more costly than Vietnam. If prudence is the mark of a conservative, Mr. Bush has ceased to be a conservative," Buchanan wrote. The release...

Pat Buchanan: The New Michael Moore? By E & P Staff Published: June 29, 2004 NEW YORK Is Patrick Buchanan the new Michael Moore? One might wonder, to judge by a letter from the conservative columnist that St. Martin's, the publisher of his upcoming book, is circulating to booksellers this week. Buchanan promises his book will show how, "A cabal of neoconservatives inside and outside the administration hijacked U.S. foreign policy, beat the drums for war in Iraq, and may have ignited a 'war of civilizations' with the Islamic world that could last a generation." The book, "Where the Right...

It was shocking news that Patrick J. Buchanan, Ronald Reagan's communications director, is getting $500,000 to write a Bush-bashing book to be titled, "Where the Right Went Wrong." The New York Post quoted a publishing insider as saying, "They could put Michael Moore on the jacket of this book, and people would believe he wrote it." But the Post story also said the book "is scheduled to go on sale in early August, to coincide with the start of the Republican National Convention – at which Buchanan will be a commentator for MSNBC." With the exception of Joe Scarborough's show,...

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...
