The kindest thing you can say about Michael is the he is not Ronnie.
It isn’t that he is evil or a liberal or anything, but without the name, he would not have a career in radio, he would not be a successful pundit, and his views would not be seen as original, meaningful, or of interest.
He is just a guy who is in a field that he doesn’t belong in, living a life that doesn’t fit him, because of his family connection to a great man.
