"I pity the fools" who believe him or rely on his conclusions, though. He's so wrong on most of his facts and conclusions that he's even funny to people who don't agree with him!

I didn't read any of his so called books, but I read two of his columns (many, many, many years ago) and I didn't understand how this comically bad writer (pompous and demagogic), could become a celebrated and rewarded journalist. The following years brought an explanation - he became so the same way Soviet journalists became celebrated and rewarded - by being scoundrels.<br />Again, when there is no conscience, everything is possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
