Bill on Bill Action

It's hard to know what to think when something you thought might have been a respectable source of commentary requests opinions from a guy you've known for almost twenty years who used to routinely almost get expelled from school because of his extremely "robust" commitment to free speech. But in his bloggingheads debut, Beutler does much better than most of the conservatives they have on. However, while he exhibits more knowledge of Iran than 99% of conservatives in government, he still can't help but say one or two outlandish things, such as that the press hasn't been in love with McCain since 2000 (do I really need to dig up footage of Wolf Blitzer wiping McCain's homemade bbq sauce out of his beard with a moist toilette, or of the Chris Matthews/Tim Russert/Brian Williams McCain-is-the-reincarnation-of-Winston-Churchill circle jerk?). All in all good though, if you like things as geeky as bloggingheads.

I appreciate the post, and especially the charitable description of my old controversies. I suppose we can debate the relative treatment of McCain vs. Obama in the media when I'm up in NYC later this month?

Of course you should wear that high school stuff as a badge of honor. Sounds good, but with the general election in full swing, I might agree with you by then.

Ha, you've known me long enough to know it wasn't all underground newspapers and free speech fights.
