Pat Buchanan's unfortunate riff

Tonight, Rob and I caught the rerun of last night's Daily Show with Pat Buchanan as special guest. (Just for the record, we didn't realize he was on until we tuned in; normally, I only like Buchanan when being interviewed by Ali G - idiocy deserves idiocy, even when one is only kidding.)

Buchanan was promoting his new book, State of Emergency, which is apparently a novel-length homage to xenophobia. As though listening to Buchanan's poor excuse for reasoning wasn't enough, he chose to end his interview by saying:

Jon, look at the Indians. They had a liberal immigration policy. Look what happened to them, Jon.


Yup, he was referring to native Americans. Sure 'nuff.
