You nailed it. What a pompous ass Terkel is. Do you have a good story about him? He was so obnoxious when he gave a lecture at the U of C.
I listened to him in interview on "Fresh Air" (BING-BING-BING! Lefty alert!) and he used all the Lib code words, indicating that nobody could possibly do anything on their own, "it takes a village". He's an old-school, Pete Seeger, IWW-Wobblie-style Lefty!
Nah, I just know that Studs will emerge from his Hyde Park mansion every so often to hobknob with the common scum and bitch about how unfair America is and then return to his mansion.
