TRIVIA:
- (June 2002) Signed on with MSNBC to do a two-hour talk/debate show with liberal counterpart 'Bill Press' (qv) (like Buchanan, an alumnus of CNN's _"Crossfire" (1982)_ (qv)). The show premiered on July 15th of this year.
- Though widely criticized by the Left for his use of the term "culture war" to describe the widening gap between social liberals and social conservatives at the 1992 Republican National Convention, that term is now in common usage by commentators on both the Left and the Right.
- Was friends with journalist 'Hunter S. Thompson' (qv).
- Served in both the Nixon and Reagan Presidential administrations, and has been a pundit on such shows as _"Crossfire" (1982)_ (qv) (which he created with fellow journalist/commentator 'Thomas Braden' (qv)), _"The McLaughlin Group" (1982)_ (qv) and "The Capital Gang".
- Lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife. Is one of nine children from a conservative Irish-Catholic family.
- While giving a speech at West Michigan University in March 2005, he was attacked by a left-wing activist, who hurled salad dressing on him during a question-and-answer session and screamed, "Stop the bigotry!" Buchanan cut his appearance short, stating, "Thank you all for coming, but I'm going to have to get my hair washed". He declined to press assault charges against the attacker, who disapproved of Buchanan's appearance falling on the birthday of the late labor leader 'Cesar Chavez' (qv).
- Author of several books, including 'A Republic, not an Empire' (1999), and 'The Death of the West' (2001). Had two failed bids for the Republican Presidential nomination in 1992 and 1996, then quit the Republican Party to run for the Reform Party Presidential nomination, which he won in 2000. He received less than 1% of the total vote in the 2000 Presidential election.
