I’ve got a new piece over at The Huffington Post. The jokes write themselves with these crazy rightwingers:
While appearing on the Rachel Maddow Show last night in the recurring segment “It’s Pat,” MSNBC pundit Pat Buchanan accused the Lesbian Coalition of America (LCA) of discriminating against him.
“I’m as qualified as anyone to head this organization, and for them to not consider my nomination to head the executive board is reverse discrimination against white males,” said Buchanan.
Buchanan was nominated by the group’s senior board member, Alexandra Tillman, who suffers from dementia and assumed Buchanan was a lesbian after seeing him several times on Maddow’s show. The nomination was quickly blocked by a majority vote.
Buchanan was outraged by the rejection. “No one is more qualified to head this lesbian group than me. I’d enliven the LCA and help them move in a new direction,” wrote Buchanan in the New Republic.
He talked about the LCA’s decision with Maddow on MSNBC last night.
“I’ve long felt kinship with the lesbian community,” Buchanon told Maddow. “Why do you think I’m always on your show, Rachel? I pride myself in being a bit of a hag.”
Read it all here. And if you missed the video I’m satirizing, I’ve posted it after the jump.
