Betcha Can't Read Just One

One more from The New Yorker, entitled "The Fall of Conservatism." Generally encouraging to those of us who are anti-fascist & anti-bourgeois, but we were especially amused by this:
“From Day One, Nixon and I talked about creating a new majority,” Buchanan told me recently, sitting in the library of his Greek-revival house in McLean, Virginia, on a secluded lane bordering the fenced grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Yup, Pat Buchanan lives right next door to the CIA. Imagine.

Maybe there is a secret tunnel connecting Buchanan's basement to a weapons lab in the main compound! That would be great.

From The Editorial "We":

Or Buchanan's Greek-revival house is a secret entrance to the C. I. A. grounds, like the New York tailor shop U. N. C. L. E. agents used. (Excuse us if the reference is too old for any young whippersnappers out there.)

Although they may just pipe Pat's bile directly into the C. I. A. chem warfare lab.

I wonder if he has to go through multiple doors to get there, like Maxwell Smart?

Seriously, though, Buchanan's property abuts the CIA compound? What happens if his grandkids hit a softball over the fence?

We're sure he has a special dispensation from the CIA for anything he does. But what makes you think his grandchildren (if any) or even his children have anything to do w/ him?
