Ben Stein: Fitzgerald is a Thug

[Stevendsmith]

Just when I thought it wasn't possible to hate this man anymore than I already do.

Stein on Fucker Carlson's asinine program:

"That is just standard business as usual. It is standard business as usual to pass out leaks to reporters in Washington. This prosecuting business as usual in Washington is just a way to break the political process down, and make it into an illegal, criminal process. It doesn‘t have any role in the Constitution. This guy is a thug. This Fitzgerald is a thug."

1. Ben Stein is a fucking actor.

Who gives a shit what he thinks?

[hobo_baggins]

7. he was a speechwriter for nixon too...

[porphyrian]

12. That does nothing to improve my impression of him. - n/t

[JuniperLea]

10. He was Nixon's speech writer before he was an actor

He is one of those evil geniuses, in league with Rove and Cheney.

Gang shootings are business as usual too, doesn't mean it's legal or morally correct, let alone ethical.

[porphyrian]

20. Memorizing large amounts of trivia isn't genius in my book.

If he possesses a gifted intellect at all, he sure is lazy in exercising it. Or, maybe he's just incredibly selfish and on the GOP payroll. Either way, I have no respect for him or his opinion.

[JuniperLea]

28. True. Rote memorization has nothing to do with genius...

His uncanny ability to speak lies and make them sound logical and true is most certainly a trait of an evil genius. Too bad he uses his power for evil. I have no respect for him as a person either. Karma will get him... Karma always gets his man;)

[alpizzy]

14. I believe...

he was a government employee before he was an actor.
Speech writer for Nixon maybe?? Anybody know? Anybody?

Not that I think he has any credibility...I'm just say'in he was in politics first.

22. Fitz is a much, much better prosecutor than Stein is an "actor". n/t

[Gman]

2. There's a lot of us getting tired of politicizing crime

which is exactly what it is.

[Bethany Rockafella]

3. This guy actually called Fitzgerald that on tv?

I gotta see this!

[acmejack]

8. Let em talk

I am willing to bet that Fitz is losing very little sleep over this.

[Bethany Rockafella]

23. And remember during Fitzgerald's news conference where he said

One day he read that he was a Republican hack and the next day he read he was a Democratic hack and all he did in between those two days was sleep. Fitzgerald will see how the Republican party is the most vicious like this guy calling him a thug.

I hope it pisses him off.

4. What a crock. What does that make ken starr then?

[nini]

5. nini: "Ben Stein is a Whore"

Why does he hate America?

This guy is a piece of shit. I can't stand the sight of him.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. Is Tucker running low on guests?

[durablend]

9. Wouldn't surprise me!

Just the sight of him (on TV) makes me want to kick his ass...just imagine what his live guests must think!

[coda]

11. Fitz has spent his career prosecuting thugs.

Stein still defends Nixon.

[Burried News]

13. Ben - what else are you afraid Fitz will discover?

[SoCalDem]

15. and of course, Kenneth Starr was a god-fearing patriot?

It's all so pathetically transparent... Tucker has lost his edge (if he ever HAD one).. Now he's reduced to smarmy guests like Ben Stein.

I have never seen his "show", and doubt that I ever will

[WhiteTara]

16. kkkarl and monkey boy must be wearing Depends

24 hours a day now. If they have to resort to this trash, then they are definitly on the ropes and they, rather than the Iraqis, are "in their last throes"
Bye Bye you lot of evil pigf*ckers
IMPEACH BUSH AND SEND THEM ALL TO THE HAGUE

[SmokingJacket]

17. Who gave that ingorant man a podium?

Oh, Carlson. Does he still have his bowtie? After Jon Stewart mocked him for it, I wondered if he would retire it or continue going on TV looking like a clown.

[Occulus]

30. I've never trusted men who habitually wear bow ties,

and I trust young men who wear them even less.

[Loonman]

18. Stein is a POS

Stroke out, already Ben, you're too old.

[onehandle]

19. Former Nixon speech writer Stein is a humorless Al Franken...

...who tells lies instead of truth.

He thinks he's funny, but in reality, he's just a GOP parrot and a THUG!

Stein is an elitist prick.

[WinkyDink]

21. I hope Stein is right.

'Bout time a thug took down these a**hole CRIMINALS!!

(You know what I mean! I love Fitz!!)

[Punkingal]

24. Stein should be careful what he says..

The PFEB here at DU will go after him.:bounce:

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Was Ken Starr a thug also?

I wonder what Ben thinks of him?

[ProfessorGAC]

26. A Thug Appointed By Republicans

Oh, dimmer than dirt Ben forgot that little part, didn't he?
The Professor

[MemphisTiger]

27. Doesn't that loser have Ferris Builers Day Off II or

a game show to shoot. Tell that hollywood elite to stay out of politics.

[movonne]

29. Ben Stein is a thug that thinks he is some kind of a comic...can't stand

him.

[Neocondriac]

31. Guckert !....Guckert !.....Guckert !.....

[applegrove]

32. Well - Pretty much all Ben Stein says is out of the mouths of his masters.

So obviously Rove is worried about Fitzgerald. Thus the attack on Fitz's greatest strengths - his single-minded and a-political search for the truth now is "thugism".

Thanks for clearing that up.

[leesa]

33. So Ben Stein thinks exposing undercover CIA agents is standard

procedure. Interesting.

[TK421]

34. Yeah Ben? Well, you're ugly
