Some years back, when his relevance was greater, I contemplated writing a Saturday Night Live skit that would have Pat Buchanan hosting a talk show called "Say What You Will About Hitler." The guests would talk about something in current events and at some point, Pat would turn to the audience who would chant "Say What You Will About Hitler," and Pat would say, "Yes, say what you will about Hitler . . ." and then he'd remark about some general virtue of Hitler's, such as steadfastness, would solve the current problem at issue.
