Transcript:

MCLAUGHLIN: Question is Bin Laden bluffing? Pat Buchanan.

BUCHANAN: John, I take him seriously for this reason. What Bin Laden is doing, he’s been eclipsed by Zarqawi and Zawahiri. And what he is doing, he is saying with this what Clinton said – I am relevant, I am here, I am alive.

1. Why is Buchanan relevant anymore??

Who the hell cares what this lunatic has to say?! If I remember correctly, the last time he tried to run NO party wanted anything to do with him and he had to run as an independent.

Even if I remembered incorrectly, Puchanan has always been relegated to the opinion fringe of lunacy.

3. He's not relevent, has never been and hopefully never will be.
