Pat Buchanan out at MSNBC -- finally

[Cyrano]

After suspending Buchanan for three months, MSNBC dumped him.

Why they kept him as long as they did is beyond me. The man is a bigoted, anti-semitic, homophobe who spent most of his life publicly rationalizing Nazi atrocities. (As far as I know, he no longer celebrates the anniversary of Hitler's birthday.)

It's possible that Fox will pick him up and hail him as a hero who survived for years among the "Northeast, liberal establishment, ivy league, gay, commie pinko, elite perverts." (That whole line in quotes must be said as a single word without taking a breath.)

Anyhow, good riddence to him and the hatred he spewed his entire career.

1. that's okay... you can still find Ol' Pat on The McGlaughlin Group every week screaming at...

Eleanor Whatshername.

4. Does anyone still watch The McGlaughlin Group? I didn't know it was still on.

But years back, it always pissed me off that Eleanor whatshername was barely allowed to get a word in before being cut short and ignored.

2. Fox "news" will give him his own show.
