Public Service Announcement: Pat Buchanan is an Idiot

Buchanan's an idiot. The man who argued that World War II was unnecessary (!) has produced his latest bit of rubbish disguised as analysis. In it, he depicts Mussolini as a sympathetic victim, for goodness sake! The rest of it depicts Putin as victim in the current Caucasus crisis. Oh, come on!

I thought I would simply put the announcement out: Buchanan's an idiot, an isolationist, and a cantankerous dilettante of history, and he represents a part of the far Right that I find not only wrong but stupid and pernicious.

That is all.

you may have missed my bit about Buchanan blaming pretty much every aspect of WW2 as well as much of the Soviet repressions during the cold war on Poland

won't someone rid us of that troublesome idiot?

What does Pat have to say in order to be excommunicated from the pundit class?

I don't know, Christian! Pat's increasingly nutty utterances are probably in themselves the evidence that he's a basket case. As a friend of mine says, "Hooray for free speech! It makes identifying idiots a lot easier!"
