General Discussion

He himself predicted all this. He's been a libertarian since Politically Incorrect, and sometimes not in a good way but always pretty consistent. For most people whether he's funny just depends on whose ox is getting gored. I don't find it funny when he is punching down to the left, but some of his criticisms are more valid than we'd like to admit, and I think his dinner with the national fuckstick was naive and ill-advised, but again that's who he has always been. One thing I can say with some admiration is that the man is not a weathervane. He is certainly wrong about some things, including some very important things, but he's not wrong be cause he hasn't thought about what he believes or because he picked his positions based on who he could fluff or who might get pissed off. And I can think of a few times when he has flat out publicly admitted that he was wrong because a guest or an unforeseen news item caused him to reconsider his position. Very few people with his public exposure are willing to do that, ever.
