Y'all shoulda seen Ben Stein on some Fox panel yesterday blow up at some lib woman. Stein had said that we need to be honest about the fact that the gov. can do very little to create jobs and that many people will need to retrain. This woman started yelling that this wasn't true, that a Kerry administration might bar imports from countries that don't pay a "living wage," (i.e., the same wages as are paid in the US). Ben tried to explain that it was foolish to think that China would raise wages to our level, but the woman kept cutting him off. Finally an exasperated Ben says, "Oh for Christ sake, can I talk? Why don't you shut your mouth!"

The Fox moderator, can't think of his name, kinda got down on Ben for that, but I thought it was pretty cool!

We need more of that agression.

It is not being rude it is putting a spoiled little brat in her place. I think democrat/leftist talking heads need a collective spanking. (the problem is they would probably enjoy it.)

I saw that. He was either Neal Cavuto or David Asman. Ben came back and apologized later.
