Thanks for sharing your outrage at Zinn. My wife and I were getting so angry at this guy last night, I had to walk away and my wife went for the mute button.

If Howard Zinn were a wrestler, he would be a great "heel" (bad guy), someone who can draw "heat" (intense negative crowd reaction).

The shame of this was, the other three guests were offering some good and thoughtful comments, but they got overshadowed by this doofus trying to dominate the discussion.

I'll call him a "Zinn Butt-ist."

That's a great way to put it, and maybe that's what Lehrer intended. I really, really hope Jimbo wasn't just showing his skirt.

ATP, thought you'd enjoy these thoughts on another Foucault (bastard) progeny.
