Buchanan's antics call to mind Thompson's apt description

Would someone please get Pat Buchanan a sedative? The one-time sidekick of Richard Nixon was so frustrated by the positive tone of the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night that his hyperbolic antics called to mind an astute observation made in the 1970s by the late Hunter S. Thompson:

"Pat Buchanan will survive in the footnotes of history as a kind of half-mad Davy Crockett on the walls of Nixon's Alamo."

Calm down, Pat. Really, buddy. This advice is coming from someone who switched over to the GOP to vote for you in 1996 because of your stance against NAFTA. Make your point, but geeze, take a breath here and there. It's only TV Wasteland, and Barack Obama is no Richard Nixon.

Things have been worse.
