...when he met with the Clintons in the White House. But the trach was not in a good position. He was nervous when he got to the Hill: "I mean, all the media were there. I think 12 or 15 Senators were there, all friends and supporters--Paul Simon, Pat Leahy, [Paul] Wellstone from Minnesota, Nancy Kassebaum, John Kerry from Massachusetts, Bob Kerrey from Nebraska--all there in the front row, two feet away from me. Like, right in my face, all sort of looking with great support and ready for me to say something pithy and impressive...
...Republicans back to the center, trimming on abortion and tacking on gun control. And whenever he does, explosive factions blow up in his face. Today Republicans are divided between socially moderate suburbanites and Ralph Reed's cultural conservatives, between supply-side tax cutters and old-fashioned budget balancers, between Pat Buchanan's protectionists and everybody else's free traders.

According to Cruise's publicist Pat Kingsley, "Not only is it not true, but he didn't say it." Bunte, which just lost a lawsuit to Princess Caroline, has fired its deputy editor but says many magazines have made this claim before...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Denied a chance to air his opinions live at the Republican Convention in August, Pat Buchanan held a press conference Wednesday to release his version of the GOP agenda and to outline his requirements for endorsing Bob Dole. In his platform, Buchanan reiterates his support for a constitutional ban on abortion, for broad tax cuts, a crackdown on immigration and isolationist trade policies. The items, said Buchanan, were not "take it or leave it proposals," but were an important means of delineating the difference between the GOP candidate and Bill Clinton. Though "insulted" by the Dole campaign...
