Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on November 02, 1938)

Happy Birthday, Pat Buchanan! From advising presidents Nixon, Ford, and Reagan to shaking things up on CNN's Crossfire—your career has been as lively as your debates. Who else could run for president under the Reform Party banner while still keeping a straight face?

Your sharp wit and fearless commentary have made politics entertaining (and occasionally terrifying) for decades. Whether people agreed or disagreed with you didn't matter—you always kept them talking! Here's wishing you another year filled with spirited discussions, memorable moments—and perhaps fewer presidential campaigns.

Cheers to staying timelessly outspoken; may your birthday be debate-free...for once!
