true... and considering he was raised in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area, is in the movie business and is Jewish and went to college during the Vietnam War era, it is pretty miraculous he is not a liberal...
And he was a classmate of Bill and Hillary at Yale.
In his autobiography “Right Turns”, he wrote that one of the first events that began his shift to the Right happened during his college years. At some point (over winter break I think) he decided to get home from his east coast college by hitchhiking his way across the country. Having grown up in an ultra-liberal, urban, culturally-cloistered environment, and having been taught to regard Middle Americans as yokels, he was completely blown away by the kind and generous treatment he received from people in Flyover Country.
