I do not deny that co-authoring a paper published by the CFR, or writing a book, makes one weightless. It simply makes one weigh as much as others that co-author papers published by think tanks or write books.

I would argue that someone such as Noam Chomsky has some (my nod to you) weight, but having Hugo Chavez promote one of his books does nothing in the grand scheme of things. Nor does World Net Daily's flogging of this issue give any more weight to someone such as Jerome Corsi (also a professor and author).
