Read a fair article on Pajamas Media today by Bernard Chapin. I'm still reading 'The 5,000 Year Leap' recommended by Glenn before I start his 'Common Sense' book, so I'm glad PM gave it a decent review. I had to laugh though, about his feelings toward Glenn.....
We get uncomfortable watching Glenn....he's so honest it hurts. He says the very things we would and do say, like when your kid comes home with 'my teacher said...." and your first thought is wtf??????
He has disarmed his detractors by openly talking about past problems with alcohol, so they have nothing 'on' him. He wears his heart on his sleeve - he speaks to the people in the 'flyover' states - the people Letterman mocked - the sample lady in the grocery store, the Cheerleader, or the waitress that signs your check with a smileyface - our Aunts, cousins, and possibly, us....the community college graduate (or flunkout) who somehow manages to scrape enough together for a house, clothes for the kids, good meals on the table (maybe decides to sleep in on sunday, cause he worked a six-day week) and would rather cut his own heart out before he agreed that piercing an unborn baby's skull and sucking it's brain out seconds before it is born is just a matter of 'choice'.
He makes you squirm because he reacts.
It's not that there's something wrong with Glenn....maybe there's something wrong with the rest of us.
