You obviously have a problem with him. You might want to drop the varous insults to his intelligence and actually watch what he does. He is, among other things, a commentator on politics and the media. He uses comedy to make his point and to say the things no one else will. If you put him on a show, to talk about a book on that subject, you should him expect to act in the manner which got him there. When he calls out someone who is supposed to be objective on a topic for not being so then what is the problem? Also he has never pretended to be objective. --Larry _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
