Wednesday on Live with Dan Abrams, MSNBC analyst Pat Buchanan was on a set with Democratic strategist Keli Goff & Air America’s Rachel Maddow to discuss a Geraldine Ferraro controversy. Buchanan has gotten a lot of face time on MSNBC during a primary season & it’s quite obvious after watching this clip that he’s in dire need of a vacation.

Buchanan, who took Ferraro’s side, reiterated a ridiculous claim that Barack Obama’s race is whats propelling his campaign & that a only reason he was allowed to give a keynote address at a 2004 Democratic National Convention was because he was black. Goff took exception to that statement & as she was calling him out for it, things turned nasty & Buchanan lost his cool — & paid a heavy price for it.

Buchanan:”In Iowa & New Hampshire, are aren’t that many black folks. He skipped Michigan, a first big contest besides South Carolina -

Goff: “Because he’s black?”

Buchanan:”HOLD IT!” [cross talk] Shut up for a second, please!”

Goff:”Excuse me, don’t talk to me like that, Pat. That’s inDrunk Newspropriate. [snip]

Maddow:”First of all I would just say, as a matter of procedure here, Pat, I’ve been on television with you a million times & I’ve never heard you tell anybody to shut up before. That was absolutely, completely ridiculous of you. Second of all, tell me about how a black vote explains Obama’s win in Utah.”
