I've always been a big booster of Tucker as an idiosyncratic
mainstream pundit and an even bigger fan of his very fine, very
funny work as a feature writer, if a
bit mocking of his fanbase, so I personally would welcome
his
entry into the presidential race. Hearing these surprising
rumors reminded me, however, of a passage from his
far-too-overlooked book,
Politicians, Partisans, and Parasites, in which he wrote
briefly of the genesis of the beloved Buchanan Brigades of my New
Hampshire youth:
In 1992, Pat Buchanan arrived at the same conclusion most talk
show hosts come to sooner or later: I should be president of
the United States. In contrast to most, he acted on it.
Is the prophecy about to be fulfilled?!
