Stein says that the ereason that the left hates Bush so much is because they are chicken of the terrorists so they transfer all that fear onto Bush. Kind of makes sense...yes, he was on with Dennis Miller tonight and said pretty much the same thing - it does make a lot of sense - the left is one messed up bunch.........

Ben Stein talked about the book he co-authored with Phil Demuth, Can America Survive?, published by New Beginnings Press. They argued that Hollywood, environmentalists, and the news media are equally as threatening as terrorists with their "anti-American" views. The book also included examples of these attacks as well solutions to these problems. After the discussion, Mr. Stein answered questions from members of the audience. This event is hosted by the Young America's Foundation at George Washington University.

"There will always be people who are paranoid about something, and Al Gore is their champion"...Ben had a lot of good one-liners - I liked his definition of Hollywood: "perpetual high school with money".......

The Bush Campaign would do well to hire him for some political advertisements. Humor is the best weapon to skewer a stuffed shirt like Kerry.

Was just browsing at Border's and noticed Ben Stein's book, "Can America Survive?", started reading it, couldn't put it down... bought it, brought it home, and now will get farther into it. Really looks EXCELLENT.
