I lost what little respect I had for him when he said Al Gore was a "thug" during the 2000 election. His only claim to fame was a bit part in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

Richard Nixon. He also created a lying documentary claiming to show bullying and dissembling techniques used by, horror of horrors, darwinian evolutionists. He made full use of cherry picked pieces of interviews that had people saying things they never actually said -- a tried and true Republican ploy.

He's a very bright, very well educated (Yale law, I wanna say) alternate-fact jackass who deserves to be pilloried so give the rational public will have an opportunity to throw rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, and bags of dog poo at his smug, ugly face.

One good thing: his silly quiz show gave Jimmy Kimmel his first big role on television. But whether Mr. Stein had anything to do with Kimmel's assignment on that show is something I do not know.

12. Was Kimmel on "Win Ben Stein's Money" before he co-hosted "The Man Show"?

He certainly has become a thorn in the GOP's side lately, especially about heath care.

I mean, just how Ms. Holderness received hers.

Ben Stein is an absolutely horrible person.

Esp. not about a dude who has a ton of power, working in the White House and all.

Be pretty damn STUPID, now wouldn't it?

And then for TWO WOMEN to BOTH LIE about how this guy treated them? Ladies who'd be statistically more likely to 'not be friends' than 'to be engaged in a conspiracy against said man, via lying to the FBI' ... Doesn't make a whole lotta sense to assume the latter, now does it?

Not to mention at least one of them sought (and was granted) a restraining order way back when it happened, when the guy was nobody especially 'important'.

Yeah ... for a supposedly really smart cat, Ben, I'm surprised you're unfamiliar w/the concept of "Occam's Razor" ...

"There are all kind of ways of getting a black eye." Punch in the eye. Head butt in the eye. Kick in the eye. Head slam into the door. Poke in the eye with a broom stick. Elbow in the eye. Knee in ...

I heard his interview - he kept repeating that he does not doubt that she received the black eye from physical abuse, he totally believed her story. But he discounted the seriousness of it all. He kept coming back to the fact that the perpetrator was convicted without "due process". Excuse me? NOT A COURT OF LAW. And besides, a restraining order was slapped on this idiot in the first place. Go suck it Ben!
