msnbc uses buchanan because he's one of the few people crazier than maddox and olberman.
Pretty much. Liberal talk shows love Pat because he makes conservatism look bad.
As you know, I happen to love Buchanan. For me, he represents Reagan conservatism (i.e., "paleoconservatism", as opposed to neo-conservatism) better than anyone else out there.
Can you give an example of this "crazy" talk by Buchanan?
Except for an occasional gaff, as every other pundit on the left or right has made as well, I don't see Buchanan as "crazy". Although I never watch him on MSNBC, only on McLaughlin Group when he appears.
