Ben Stein’s Delusional Defense Of Senator Larry Craig.

From Crooks and Liars:


Former Nixon advisor, actor, TV game show host and comedian, Ben Stein appeared with FOXNews’ Neil Cavuto and makes what is probably the most misguided, fact-free and delusional defense of Larry Craig we’ve found since the scandal broke earlier this week. Stein says Craig was railroaded, and that all he did was tap his foot. He repeatedly accuses the Minneapolis Police Department of using Gestapo tactics and aiding terrorists because they should be scouring the airport looking for terrorists, fervently states that gay sex isn’t illegal because the SCOTUS says so and then claims the Executive Branch may have been involved in bringing Craig down to change the balance of power in D.C. WTF?

On a side note:

Ben Stein, American Spectator on Foley:

On the one hand, we have a poor misguided Republican man who had a romantic thing for young boys. He sent them suggestive e-mail. I agree, that’s not great. … I hope it won’t come as a surprise to anyone that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys. [Link]

Memo to all closeted lawmakers and journalists and all curious cruising hypocrites: Don't say anything because your personal life could be exposed!!!

Ben Stein another right wing nut job. If a GOP did what Clinton did, it would be ok, if a Democrat did what Foley did, it would be the biggest scandal they would not be able to stop the GOP spin on it.

Stein should stick to acting and game show hosting.
