Miss Ross, Mr. Buchanan, the Pope & God

Written by Taki on . Posted in Breaking News, Posts

Bad Rubbish If Pius XII was Hitler’s Pope, I’m Monica Lewinsky. Leave it to an Englishman–one John Cornwell–to come up with such crap, and Vanity Fair to publish excerpts. After all, it was a fellow English self-publicist and lunch-bucket pilferer, Christopher Hitchens, who libeled Mother Teresa in the same magazine three years ago. Now, yet

It’s Painful to Admit, But Giuliani’s Right Again

Written by Russ Smith on . Posted in Breaking News, Posts

"The John Anderson?" Buchanan asked. Yes, the caller said, confirming he was indeed the last Republican presidential candidate who bolted from the party to run as a non-Republican.
