This guy should have never gained any credibility. The very fact that Buchanan worked at high levels of our media and government, much less ever worked above a student newspaper and got near a small-town mayor's office shows how long our country's been dysfunctional.

His racism and Catholic Pietic anti-semitism has been clear for decades. He was also a belligerent, jingo creep during the Cold War, an attitude that, during his heyday in the Reagan administration, almost killed us all.

On top of that, he was abrasive and dislikeable, an early pioneer of the poisonous tone of our politics. I'll never forget after John Lennon was murdered how Buchanan wrote a gloating, sneering column. It was a tone picked up and perfected by Rush Limbaugh, who referred any Progressive dying as "Assuming room temperature," and sang "Ain't Got No Home" after a homeless advocate committed suicide. I hope there's a Hell just because it would make it possible for Buchanan and Limbaugh to share the same pit and torture each other for eternity.

He was corporatist, until he noticed it was hurting workers, that is to say, it was hurting white workers, then he evoked protectionism based on racism to correct it. The man is a toxic, cat-shit-laced-with-arsenic, human being. The rest of us have been gagging on him long enough.

How is it the MSM has been oblivious to this until now?
