Readers of Attackerman1.0 know of my deep and abiding love for Nixonland, my friend Rick Perlstein’s magisterial exploration of the enduring politics of grievance. The only politics books I’ve ever read that come close to Nixonland‘s achievement are Robert Caro’s books about LBJ and Robert Moses. In case you haven’t heard, Rick is Michael, Magic and Bird. Who are the five greatest Nixonographers of all time? Perlstein, Perlstein, Perlstein, Perlstein and Perlstein.

Now watch him good-naturedly tear Pat Buchanan apart.
