Buchanan on GOP

* Pat Buchanan (“Conservatives: Heed Media at Your Peril,” Column Right, Nov. 10) gives the befuddled Republicans one more excuse for the public repudiation of their recent effort to take over the country. It’s the media’s fault! But, of course. Why didn’t I realize that? One thing it cannot possibly be is the reactionary conservative failure to get real. If the media are every scheming, duplicitous thing that Buchanan says, how come his drivel keeps getting printed?

One thing Buchanan drives around is that those lumps under the blanket in the GOP bed are the talking heads: William Bennett, Gary Bauer, Ralph Reed and James Dobson. The broader public has pretty well sniffed out their true agenda and ain’t buying. I’ve been looking all over for Bennett, Bauer, Reed and Dobson since election night. Please, give them editorial space to opine on their train wreck.
