Pompous windbag and sometime social conservative Coren gets one right!

As they say, even a stopped clock is right twice a day... There needs to be lots of emphasis on the 'sometime' aspect of your description of Coren - far more appearance than substance.

Coren's a strange mixed bag when it comes to both his ideology and his theology. He's a Brit ex-pat with a nominally Catholic mother and a Jewish (non-practicing?) former taxi driver father. He's famous for picking up causes, wringing all of the personal publicity out of them he can, and then seldom or never mentioning them again.

For years, he was a very vocal "born again" evangelical, fundamentalist Protestant - while seldom missing any chance to mention his Jewish roots. Apparently, about 6 months ago, he accepted Confirmation - back into or maybe missed out on same as a kid? - into The Roman Catholic Faith. (go figure and for how long?)

In fairness, he has always been consistently pro-life and largely pro-American. However, on other social policy and economic issues he's constantly all over the map but far too often way out in left field.
At one point this week, he was ever lauding NDP Leader and all round slimeball Jack Layton as a man of principle and great integrity !!!

IMHO, even when Coren's right, he's a still dangerous loose canon and a contradictory self-promoting blowhard.
In fact, he's not all that much unlike Bill O'Reilly - LOL!
