Buchanan slams Bush in new book

In the uproar of SBL, I haven't seen any significant mention of a prominent story in today's NYT -- Buchanan has a new book out this week called "Where the Right Went Wrong" taking on Bush and the other losers who got us into the mess in Iraq, the deficit, etc. The release date and surrounding publicity is specifically timed for just before the RNC in order to have the greatest impact.

We need to do what we can to see that his book and criticism of Bush is not swallowed up by more SBL nonsense.

"He has a following in conservative circles," said Paul Weyrich, a veteran conservative organizer. "It is not what it once was just because the religious right is not particularly enamored with him. But it is going to have an effect."

In an interview, however, Mr. Buchanan said publishing a book during the campaign was the best way he knew to inject what he considers important ideas into the debate. "The reason I wanted it out now is, it addresses big issues that are not being addressed in this campaign: the massive and growing deficit, the disintegration of the culture and a Wilsonian foreign policy that means war ad infinitum," he said.

He's not endorsing Kerry, of course, but all criticism of Bush by the Right is most welcome.
