>>He's an ardent populist and gets carried away. Depending on topic, he can be quite sharp and thoughtful. I don't watch him often but I've seen both sides. I'm not sure that what you perceived is right wing so much as vanilla populist. It happens that, in this case, the "little guy" was on the right. He gets exercised over the lefty issue of corporate treatment of little guy, too.<<

He may have something meaningful to say now and again, but If he can't prevent himself from being apoplectic, I'm not interested in watching him. I feel the same way about Keith Olbermann.
I don't need pundits telling me what to think, but I have even less use for them telling me what to feel.
Last night, he was reacting only to the sins of the left. First ACORN, then Bill Ayers, then the so called "merciless" attacks on JTP by Obama and Biden. And he was overreacting consistently. As one example, he asked, with great asperity, "Why isn't the media camping out on Bill Ayer's front lawn the way they're camping out in front of Joe the Plumber's house?" That struck me as a ridiculous question.
