Larry King had Robert Reich and Ben Stein on together. Hard to tell who was the Dem.

[Bozita]

Ben Stein was crying for more govt regulation. "Crack down on Wall Street!"

Ben is for McSame, but he thinks he needs a new crew of economic advisors.

So, ... a lack of regulation is the main source of the mega-meltdown, but Ben's going with McSame.

Unfuckingbelievable.

1. Ben Stein v. Robert Reich.

What an intellectual mismatch.

[hfojvt]

2. of course his trouble with Obama, is that Obama would

tax Ben Stein's money.

[Kerrytravelers]

3. Yeah, right back to the tax levels of the 1990s. And we all know how hard it was on the millionairs.

Maybe we should start a charity for them.

:nopity:





(This wasn't directed at you, just tagging onto your original thought.) :hi:

[Schema Thing]

5. Nope. Actually, Ben Stein is saying that he and his ilk should be taxed

"we can pay for all that, we're a wealthy nation. You just have to tax the wealthy". Or substance thereof; I heard him say it a couple of times.

[hfojvt]

10. then it's odd that he would support McCain who is adamant about

not increasing taxes on the rich, and quite the opposite, in fact.

[snake in the grass]

8. No,

his trouble with Obama is that he perceives him to be an angry black man. If he is truly for a tax increase on the wealthy there is no reason for him to vote for McBraindead. I really don't understand why he gets any coverage or gigs at all (except on the 700 Club). The guy is an idiotic glans penis and when I hear him say, 'lighting struck a puddle of mud', I feel genuine rage. He is an authority on nothing.

4. Ben Stein predicted the housing bust would result in a loss of $38 billion.

I tried finding the link. But it's lost in the internet tubes.

[lurky]

6. That's devastating.

So McCain doesn't have any economic opinions that aren't spoon-fed to him by his advisors? If you don't like his opinion, just change his advisors? He's that much of an empty suit?

Wow, and that came from a supporter.

[lonestarnot]

7. He also had richie combover Trump. He endorses Lumpy McSame and McMoose.

No shocker there. Guess he's afraid his wealth will get "redistributed." What a pig!

[AzNick]

9. Bueler... Bueler...

Why does anybody take Ben Stein seriously?

His TV game was his biggest accomplished, from my point of view.

I was starting to like him until one day he said that hitting on his female students from his teaching days was like "shooting fish in a barrel".

Then I realized what a scumbag he is.

Him and Kimmel (the co-host) even went at it one day when Ben Stein said that Charlton Heston was a great guy. Kimmel gave him a hint ("From my cold dead hand!") but Stein did not take it.

[Beregond2]

11. Yeah I used to like him, despite his being a rightwinger,

but the way he woud leer at every young female on the show got to me.
