Twitterers were aflame last evening with the prospect that Pat Buchanan had finally
gone too far:
“Reverend Al, please don’t throw me into that briar patch.”
“Your boy, Barack Obama, caved in… “
“He’s your boy in the ring!”
And it was the pure delight he put on uttering 'briar patch' and 'boy' that made it the whistle so fierce a pack of dobermans were seen outside the MSNBC studios (of course, that just may be Pat's entourage).
But fret not, there's no chance anyone like Pat Buchanan will ever be out of a job, that's something "other" people experience.
There is nothing that Pat Buchanan can do to be fired, suspended, scolded, or even not complimented.
He has stuck up for
Hitler; he has stuck up for
death camp capos (comparing them
to Jesus); he has stuck up for
Jim Crow; he has stuck up for
Apartheid; he's even most recently stuck up for
Nordic spree killers. Yet the paychecks keep getting bigger. How is this new race-baiting going to do him in?
Nope, he'll always be there, in the Eichmann-like glass booth just kept outside the MSNBC studios ready to be set loose at all times of the day.
The Buchanity of Evil.
