Abstract

Buchanan We'd Rather Be Right
Kopkind, A. | January 6, 1992 issue

add to cart   close window

Republican Pat Buchanan struck at noon. Right on the button for the cable news shows and precisely at the moment when workers in the Capitol offices here took to the streets for lunch, the feisty fascist of Sunday morning TV chat strode up to the microphones to announce his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. Buchanan's entrance into a particularly flat and tedious campaign has provided a certain volume and texture. He presents a serious though probably not life-threatening challenge to U.S. President George W. Bush, but more than that, he injects what the commentators like to characterize as an "unabashedly," ideological element into the proceedings.
