I was watching Larry King, and to my amazement, they had three conservative women. All were talking about Sarah Palin, and her qualifications. Two of the women (Kathleen Parker being one) said that Palin was being used, and not qualified. The third was Angela Marie "Bay" Buchanan. Buchanan went on to say how Palin was fulfilling her traditional role as attack dog, and doing a great job. As I watched this Botox lipped woman sing the praises of Palin, I was amazed at some of the lies she was telling about Palin. It started me thinking. Who is this know-nothing Republican hack? Maybe you folks knew this, but I didn’t, she is the sister of Patrick J. Buchanan.
I saw Minnesota's Michelle Bachmann on Hardcopy yesterday. She has been a longtime McCain surrogate on the cable shows, spewing her special brand of hate and lies for a Party that thrives on them. Michele Bachmann is Minnesota's Answer to Florida's Katherine Harris, and basically demonstrated to Chris Mathews that she is an idiot. Well, if you thought she was bad. Bay" Buchanan makes her look like a genius. It appears that like Mitt Romney, Ms Buchanan is a Mormon, and her only claim to fame is the national treasurer of the Reagan for President primary campaigns of 1976 and 1980, and the Reagan-Bush general election campaigns of 1980 and again in 1984. Appointed at the age of 32, Buchanan was the youngest person to serve in the post of Treasurer of the United States.
After appearing regularly on CNN's news program "Inside Politics", she became a commentator for CNN's The Situation Room, and later, CNN's Election Center with Campbell Brown. If you see her, it is obvious that she has had some plastic surgery go bad, but what spews from her mouth in craziness. Is there something in the Kool-Aid they feed these women that converts them (like Michele Bachmann) into rabid blathering Republican racists devoid from reality? CNN has few real journalists who give a fair account anymore. The one they seemed to have was Jack Cafferty, but it seems he has been muzzled for his comments about Sarah Palin. How and why this woman (Buchanan) was able to even get a voice on television (much less to show that Joan-Rivers-like fake face) is beyond me. She is way into McCain’s corner, repeating his talking points, and basically denying what we saw with our own eyes. Her support for Palin is fanatical, and borders on some lesbian at-large stalker crap. I don’t know that she is a lesbian, but you should hear the crap she says about Palin. According to her view, forget McCain, Palin should be president.
During the Larry King session, she kept going on and on about how Palin has excited the base. The other panelists noted that McCain has gone down in the polls since her selection, and that McCain cannot win with just the base. Buchanan would not hear of that, and went on to rebut any negative view of Palin with many inaccurate personal views of Palins qualifications and past accomplishments. After seeing this exchange, it occurred to me that it was amazing how in this country we have such whackos. It’s even more amazing that we let them on the public airwaves. CNN must be really hurting for ratings to give this fake Heifer a forum.
