FU Ben Stein you slimy POS "Tweety Interview"
OMG I can't believe what I was hearing coming out of Ben Steins mouth.

JFK was a drug addict...blah blah blah

Nixon's Watergate should have been hidden from the public.

Kerry didn't deserve his metals.

Ben Stein is a horrible actor and a horrible person inside.

Did anyone else watch him on Tweety?

1. Who is this guy?
And why did Matthews spend 15 minutes letting him spout his hate?
Do I get equal time?

2. Do you remember Ferris Buellers Day Off?
He's the one that played the teacher who keeps saying Bueller...Bueller...Bueller and the kids are sleeping in his class.

9. Yeah, he also quoted Poppy Bush
in that scene, as GHW Bush referred to Reaganomics as "Voodoo economics". That part was funny. One of the kids had his head down on the desk and there is a puddle of drool.

25. I liked Win Ben Stein's Money!
Or at least I liked it when Jimmy Kimmel was the co-host. It was something a little different from the "serious" game shows--a sarcastic version of Jeopardy (complete with a Dunce Cap for anyone who answers in the form of a question).

3. I started to.............
but then thought better of it. My reaction would have been exactly the same as yours. I didn't need the aggrivation. Ben's been whorring pretty good lately, I used to think he was kind of funny years ago. Now he's just another Conservative POS that doesn't deserve the air he breathes.

13. Nixon's speechwriter
Also, host of "Win BS Money" and the teacher in "Ferris Bueller."

Still an asshole, even if he's a funny asshole.

16. That's an interesting take on an opponents opinion
If we start dictating who deserves the air they breath based on their opinions then how are we any better that those we condemn?

11. great story:
the vice-president of the Ohio State chapter of the ACLU was walking through the student union, when he ran into ben stein (apparently he was speaking to the college repukes that day). he got steins autograph etc, since he IS a celeb, and stein asked him if he was coming to hear him speak. and our VP had the joy of saying, "No, I'm on my way to the ACLU meeting"...dear god i wish i had been there to see the look on his face...

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

14. JFK was a drug addict
At least according to that last biography of him. Then again, Stein was Nixon's speechwriter -- and NIXON, talk about an ADDICT.

The rest of it is, of course, complete bullshit.

24. He would be just another washed up speechwriter if John Hughes...
hadn't put him in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. By the way, does anybody know the party affiliation of John Hughes. If he isn't a repuke, we should hold him responsible for Ben Stein's fame for the last 20 years.
