On Pat Buchanan's Sore Bum

I hear that Rachel Maddow has made a routine out of ripping apart Pat Buchanan's batshit (patshit?) arguments these days, but this is particularly noteworthy. Last week Pat went on The Rachel Maddow Show and let loose some truly racist (and completely insane) drivel about how America was built 100% by white people, and about how Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is an "affirmative action nominee." This didn't sit well with Rachel, evidently, and she devoted a segment of her show last Monday to setting a few facts straight. I love that she doesn't stoop to the level of actually arguing with Buchanan--she doesn't even have to argue with him. She just has to state a few facts to completely invalidate everything he said.
