Nixon was a paranoid, uncouth skank. |
And a drunk. Very unusual behavior for someone raised in a Quaker household.
As far as Ben Stein goes he is a smart man, but every once in awhile he comes up with a zinger, like the Nixon comment. Another good one his comparison to Obama's rally at Invesco Field to Hitler's Nazi rallies at Nuremberg.
Economist? He has an undergraduate degree in economics. He is a lawyer, an actor, a writer, game show host, and was a college professor. His dad was a famous economist and an advisor on economic issues in the Nixon White House.
Ben Stein is anti-science and is a creationist.(intelligent design) Ben Stein endorsed Democrat Al Franken in the 2008 Minnesota Senate race, calling him an "impressive guy". That is pretty bizarre.
He had a really good game show though.
