1. Maybe if he begs hard enough, oil prices will go down.
Though I doubt that's his hidden (or any) agenda... and he could afford $10/gallon...

2. He seems like a caricature
One of my college students told me he dreamed that Ben Stein was his professor, droning on and on.

Actually, it was a nightmare . . .

5. Just a doofus from the Nixon administration who made the leap to
showbiz. A case study in overconfidence.

A closet fan of corporate welfare who masquerades as a free-market fetishist.

A buffoon who fancies himself a thinker.

7. Is he still on the faculty at Pepperdine?
So much for academia being a strictly liberal profession. Just another hypocritical corporatist.
