Win Ben Stein's Sanity
When I was younger, I knew that Ben Stein had worked for the Nixon administration, but I didn't care (so did a lot of good people not guilty by association), because he was in "Ferris Bueller" and had that awesome quiz show on Comedy Central where he and Jimmy Kimmel cracked wise at each other.
It turns out that the guy is a grade-A douchebag.
This first became obvious two years ago when he ranted and raved after the identity of the Watergate 'Deep Throat' was revealed. In Stein's eyes, Nixon was a modern-day Christ, bringing peace to the world, only to be thwarted by assholes like Deep Throat mad at Nixon just because he committed numerous crimes and turned out to be a paranoid sociopath. The nerve of those monsters! He then blamed those who helped bring down Nixon for the genocides in South Vietnam and Cambodia (!). "No one doubts RN would never have let this happen," said Stein, defending the President who expanded the war into Cambodia in the first place and considered using nukes against Vietnam.
Now Stein is making a movie called "EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed", a documentary on how the refusal to teach intelligent design in schools is destroying America. Says Stein on its blog, "America is not America without freedom." He goes on to explain that apparently America is no longer America without intelligent design in schools. All of the other crazy things done in recent years by his old boss' successor must be a-okay for America... but refusing to force biblical creationism into science classes? It's the end of the Republic!
Ben Stein is a real modern day Patrick Henry. Give us intelligent design or give us death.

The movie should be called "EXPELLED: Ben Stein's Credibility On Anything." Honestly, who's looking to Ben Stein for socio-political reform? Granted he worked for Nixon, but that just reinforces my previous question.
"Honestly, who's looking to Ben Stein for socio-political reform? "
Religious zealots?
