You'll always find an idiot to interview.

UEL is not the most prestigious centre of learning but they deserve better.

Yet he is a symptom, showing how easy it is to gin up the mob mentality.

The lapdog media have successfully diverted the anger at the real problem people, i.e. congressmen like frank and dodd, to small players, many of whom have done nothing wrong.

See Daniel Hannan's rant vs. Gordon Brown for another perspective.

Well: i guess he is like the direman that holered out that we should burncity hall down. Pretty stupid if you ask me of both.He was probably only interviewed becayuse of his position ;so he jeopardized that in his rant.
