So if he is off his rocker, why was he an expert for Congress for many years?

Congress likes people who think the way they do.

I'm not saying he is or isn't "off his rocker", just making a statement about how the media in general picks their so-called 'experts'. Frankly, it's bad ratings to put someone up there as an expert who's going to tell everything that things aren't so bad and that they're probably pretty safe.

As for Congress, it's not like they've got a great track record for picking the best folks to listen to. I seem to recall a young man named John Kerry testifying for them. :-)
