Pat Buchanan Is Furious the Lesbians Won’t Put Him in Charge

2009-07-20-buchanan1

Racist cable news commentator Pat Buchanan must’ve been delighted to learn he’d been nominated to lead the executive board of the Lesbian Coalition of America. Except that only happened when board member Alexandra Tillman mistook him for a lesbian.

After seeing Buchanan on the teevee a few times, Tillman submitted his name for consideration. Now, Tillman suffers from dementia, which is being used to explain her move — which the board quickly shot down. But Buchanan is “upset,” and thinks the LCA is just discriminating against him! He tells Rachel Maddow, “No one is more qualified to head this lesbian group than me. I’d enliven the LCA and help them move in a new direction.”

Among Buchanan’s self-professed qualifications? He watches The L Word. For the cinematography, we’re sure.

Thinking about it rationally…

If we did have someone like Pat leading the gay rights movement we wouldn’t be stopping every 10 minutes to lambaste each other and apologize to everyone we might have offended, are offending or will offend. Say what you want about the man but I kind of admire his no excuses, no apologies, no regrets manner of representing himself.

Pat Buchanan leading a lesbian rights group…. In other news, Adolf Hitler is coming back from the dead to host Rosh Hashanah on the National Mall.

@galefan2004:
Rationally, most of the country is (FINALLY!) waking up to the bullshit lies, outright ignorance and hypocrisy that people like Pat Buchanan specialize in…

Sorry, but Rachael totally schooled him last night in a ‘correction piece’ on her show for the lies, misrepresentations, omissions, and outright ignorance he spewed during their debate/argument on Sotomayor and race politics. Pat did not do us caucasians any favors with his ridiculous, ill-informed rant.

Being sure of yourself is one thing…being sure of yourself when you have most of your facts wrong is, unfortunately, a republican hallmark.

Um, we are all aware that this is a joke story, right. This story was posted yesterday, a Monday, which means that neither Pat Buchanan, Rachel Maddow, or anyone was “on her show last night.” The show isn’t on Sundays.

I’m sure everything on here is sarcastic, but I just wanted to be sure, for the less astute readers.

@Alex: Wait, so, I’m confused. Is The Huffington post legit, a satirical thing like The Onion, or some inbred combo?

@7SK: HuffPo has a 23/6 comedy section, which I guess is like the Onion, though I’ve never read it before now. The Onion, meanwhile, has been sold to the Chinese with little noticeable change.

@planktonshampoo: LoL, I hate to say it, but I like this old man. He says some crazy things sometimes, but he makes my laugh. Definitely in the crazy old grandpa kind of way!

Pat B. probably thinks that Nancy Reagan is an old queen, too. BTW how about some pix of attractive gay women besides Rachael on your front page?
