Ben Stein suddenly is a big defender of the rights of the accused. (DSK case)

Funny how that works. I don't remember him being so concerned about due process before.

Case in point: Ben Stein on the Patriot Act

1. Ben Stein is a whiny little hypocrite.

And he's NOT smart.

2. I stand corrected (by myself). Stein apparently did protest the treatment of defendant Larry Craig

3. What this shows is that class trumps politics..

Stein should loathe DSK for his socialist leanings but defends him for reasons of class, DSK is wealthy hence it is impossible for him to have been a criminal in Stein's view.
