Pat Buchanan For President!!

By

September 9, 2004

Memo To: Website Fans, Browsers, Clients From: Jude Wanniski Re: Pat on “Meet the Press” Just kidding of course, but after I watched Pat on “Meet the Press” this morning I e-mailed him: “Have you ever thought of running for President?” When he did last time out I supported him, up to the point where I thought he went bonkers on China and trade. Now out of elective politics, he is getting better all the time as a “wise man.” He sent me his brand new book last week, Where the Right Went Wrong, and I put it on a pile of books I’ve promised to read, but after reading the first few pages I read the whole thing. Except for the section on trade, which is still soft, it is easily the best of his many books that I have read (with many never finished). Tim Russert invited him on his NBC show along with Sen. Bob Graham of Florida and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, mainly to discuss Iraq. I’ve not done this before, but decided to cut Graham and Gingrich from this memo and give you pure Pat. They were okay from their viewpoints, but I think Pat stole the show.
