Is Buchanan the new Zell?

[Doosh]

I don't want him anywhere near the party, but it's nice to have a high profile GOP dissenter out there.

BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES: 'NO CONSERVATIVE PARTY LEFT IN WASHINGTON'

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:

4. No, he's no Zig-Zag Zell

He's an old paleo-conservative. He rightly points out that the Bushies and neocons are radicals when it comes to foreign policy. But he still has no use for the Dems.

5. "Is Buchanan The New Zell"

Do you mean will Pat become A Dem?


Only when we make the Democratic party homosexualrein and judenrein....

6. He certainly isn't going to win a popularity contest

on DU. Still, he has opposed the Bush family since the 1970s. The older folks on DU will remember that he opposed Bush 1 and thus helped elect Clinton.
