Bernard-Henri Lévy, or "BHL" as he is known in France, believes that a road trip around America qualifies him as an expert on American Politics and Culture. He is a Puffy-shirt unbuttoned down to the belly button wearing effete, elitist, self proclaimed "philosopher". A remnant from the 60's, a soixante-huitard who never grew up.
Kind of like an Alexis de Tocqueville on estrogen?

Toqueville was a brilliant writer and observer with great insight into the emerging character and spirit of America in the late 18th century.
BHL is a pompous hack, and a Leftist to boot.

And evidently also without the writing talent of Alexis de Tocqueville or the admiration for America.
