Buchanan: The Kos crowd deserves a Cabinet pick

Why does a conservative seem to respect the Democratic left more than many Democrats? Plus: Pick Hillary, or don't, but get it over with!

    By the way, NewYorkNY . . . .

    I really was not trying to be sarcastic earlier, with my statement that you liberals should have your way. I lived in Europe and saw first hand how Vater Stadt socialism (as the German speaking countries call it) works. Pretty effective, actually. So, I'm not fearful of anything the new administration might foist upon us.

    Also, I appreciate your taking the time to correspond with me. It was getting lonely over there on the Sarah Palin threads; I was pounding out my odes to Sarah like the Phantom of the Opera in the 7th floor dungeon and not getting much response.

    I do need to move on with life, and beyond Salon, but I can never decide whether the moment is right - especially when it seems like every week there is a new media effort to crush my favorite political gal, and I feel compelled to somehow offer a one-man noble and sane response.

    Well, anyway, good evening to you. I'm sure you'll enjoy the politics of the coming era much more than me. Although, as I mentioned in another thread, sometimes being the Bourbon royalist in an age of bonapartism has its moments too. Especially when you have a heroine, and a sense of balance about it all.
