PAT BUCHANAN: ‘LET’S HOPE’ A WOMAN ISN’T ELECTED PRESIDENT IN MY LIFETIME

PAT BUCHANAN: ‘LET’S HOPE’ A WOMAN ISN’T ELECTED PRESIDENT IN MY LIFETIME | Conservative pundit Pat Buchanan — who was recently fired from MSNBC after penning a racist book bemoaning the “end of white America” — reinforced his sexism during an episode of the McLaughlin Group on Sunday. Asked when the country would elect its first female president, Buchanan predicted “2040 or 2050” — well after his expected lifespan. And when host John McLaughlin pressed, “that late?” the 73-year-old Buchanan quipped, “let’s hope so” and broke out in laughter. McLaughlin added that “Hillary Clinton owes it to her gender” to run.

1. That old gasbag is a waste of oxygen.

[yellowcanine]

15. Two gasbags - John McLaughlin and Pat Buchanan.

[NYC_SKP]

2. Let's hope he's right, and let's hope that Elizabeth Warren wins in 2016.

Both wishes can come true.



Jurors: Wishing death on Pat Buchanan??? NEVER!

But should it happen, rest assured that he's expecting a rich and rewarding afterlife, so it's a win-win.

[Motown_Johnny]

26. My thoughts exactly

[Arkansas Granny]

3. I'm glad Pat Buchanan wasn't elected President in my lifetime.

[WI_DEM]

4. McLaughlin Group is still on?

5. Patrick Puke-Cannon can, in the immortal phrase of Darth Cheney.....

...go F*CK himself!!

6. Buchanan is irrelevant.

[surrealAmerican]

7. Why are they still putting this person on television?

How desperate does a producer have to be to hire him to spew this nonsense?

[unblock]

8. it would be wrong to share the same hope, albeit with a different implication....

but hey, if that's his hope....

[malaise]

9. Then drop dead you racist, misogynist

ReTHUG pig.

[rurallib]

33. I feel the same, but was trying to express it more gently

I wonder if he would feel the same way if Palin were in the running?

[HopeHoops]

10. So just die already.

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Crickets from Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, Carly Fiorina, Michele Bachmann,

Phyllis Schafley, Nikki Haley, Linda McMahon, etc.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. If I train my forehead to wrinkle up like an accordion while chopping the air with my hands

and spout sexist, racist, or anti-semitic crap whenever I open my mouth, can I get a TV career going where I make money without ever accomplishing anything in life?

[Zalatix]

13. Elizabeth Warren in 2016.... just to spite him, and 99 more reasons too!

[Pool Hall Ace]

14. Why did McLaughlin mention Hillary Clinton?

I have not a thing against her, but does he not realize that there are many, many other women who are potential candidates?

[yellowcanine]

17. Because he has no imagination.

[Pool Hall Ace]

25. I watched the video and it was actually Eleanor Clift

(or whoever the token woman is on that show) who first mentioned Hillary. I guess she has no imagination, either!

[yellowcanine]

34. By definition you don't stay on that show if you have any imagination.

There is no room for any imagination on that show. It is all McLaughlin bellowing about one thing or another.

[Arugula Latte]

16. Let's hope your lifetime ends very, very soon, Pat.

[GoneOffShore]

18. I'd rather see him live and watch a woman inaugurated.

Then his head would explode.

[Arugula Latte]

23. Well, you do have a point there.

I'd like to see him blow his pointy white hat off his head.

[Taverner]

19. JesusF, this guy just starts walking without looking for landmines, doesn't he?

[Scootaloo]

29. He's old, he's rich, he's white, and he doesn't have to worry about elections

Lucky him, he can say whatever the fuck he wants, and no harm will ever come to him for it.

[JHB]

20. Molly Ivins was right: Buchanan sounds better in the original German

Jeez, it's been so long I hadn't realized The McLaughlin Group was still fouling the Sunday airwaves.

[churchill1985]

21. wow

his bigotry is getting worse

[quinnox]

22. Holy smokes, I can't believe McLaughlin is still doing that show and

lol, it looks like he hasn't changed a bit. I used to watch the McLaughlin group regularly, like, at least 20 years ago. The guy was old then, what is he, like 100 years old now? He still looks the same though.

[muntrv]

27. I guess Pukecannon hates Sarah Palin, who was his

Alaska campaign chair in 2000.

[AJTheMan]

28. I've always thought that a woman President would be a good thing for America.

Less hubris, me thinks.

[Scootaloo]

30. Proof that there is no god

Pat Buchanan has a full suite of functional organs, while children await heart transplants.

[doc03]

31. I thought he passed away n/t

[thelordofhell]

32. So he's saying he's gonna die in the next 4 years??

[struggle4progress]

35. His racism and sexism will be harder to hide as he dodders into senility
