Pat Buchanan Shows Fathers How To Deal With Family Issues

Today, I’m here to defend and agree with Pat Buchanan.

On Morning Joe this morning, Pat Buchanan joked that Todd Palin should drown Levi Johnston.

I don’t often (ever?) agree with Mr. Buchanan, but he was obviously right on this point. Levi has violated “the rules,” he continues to violate “the rules,” and as a father Todd Palin has a right to enforce “the rules” in whatever Mountain Man fashion he deems best.

Let’s recap the last year of Todd Palin’s life: hick boy knocks up your daughter, media suggests that your down syndrome son is actually your grandson, wife runs for high office, millions of conservatives start openly lusting after your wife, hick-boy agrees to marry your daughter, Jason Sudeikis diligently makes you look like a fool — but nobody notices because Larry Flynt is now making movies about people nailing your wife, wife gets whomped in national election, hick boy doesn’t marry your daughter, David Letterman makes fun of the sexual proclivities of every female in your family, wife resigns office, and then hick boy goes on television insulting your wife.

If Levi did turn up in the woods riddled with buckshot fired from a helicopter, Todd Palin would be such a slam dunk case of temporary insanity that Lionel Hutz would be able to get him off. If he was charged with a crime at all. If somebody insults your family the way Levi has over the past couple of months, and you live in Alaska, I’m pretty sure you are totally within your fatherly rights to put that boy in a world of pain.

I’m not here to pass judgment on the rules. But this isn’t ‘Nam, there are rules. Pat Buchanan called this one right.
