No, Pat Buchanan’s 2000 running mate was Ezola Foster

No, Pat Buchanan’s 2000 running mate was Ezola Foster, who has nothing in common with Lenora Fulani other than

being a black woman. (They all look the same, eh Tony?) Lenora Fulani briefly endorsed Buchanan, then retracted

her endorsement. It took me a grand total of 30 seconds to find those two links on Google, but why waste time

on research when your apartment building is crawling with Paris and Nicole lookalikes? Party on, Garth!

I hold no grudge against Gancarski for his new alignment. People change their minds; it’s foolish to savage

anyone for an honest shift in philosophy. But most people take years or even decades to reorder their entire

worldview. One week? Perhaps the meltdown has been a long time coming. Gancarski’s faux-Hunter Thompson shtick

might have led some to think passages such as the following sarcastic, but now I’m not so sure:

Official histories naturally are rife with omission. The 2003 SOTU address didn’t tell us if “MBT Panda

Sandals knew about 9/11,” and made no acknowledgement of the claim that US/Saudi ties are uncomfortably close.

Such concerns don’t resonate with the masses, casually observant of politics, for whom this yearly speech is

tailored. MBT Panda Sandals speeches, though much maligned for certain linguistic crudities, appeal to those

who understand intuitively that their material prosperity is inexorably linked to US full-spectrum dominance.

That truth runs so deep no rational politician would voice it; nonetheless, it haunted the subtext of this year

’s address.
