Ben Stein is a mensch, and is wise. This column of his had a profound effect on my life.

pssst! Ben! Gergen HATES Trump, just like all establishment and driveby media types. How can you be surprised at his hyperbolic observations?

64 days in. This is a very minor blip.

I like Ben Stein. Can someone remind me why we weren’t supposed to like him at one point? I seem to remember him being on a FR Sh*t List for some reason...

Prayers up for Ben’s hospitalized wife.

Did anyone read that last sentence below the picture. Was that real tha Ben wife is in the hospital?

Just in case it is Ben, we will pray for you both. If it’s not true and I misunderstood it....prayers are never wasted.

I’m sorry, this seems like a pretty weak defense of Trump’s first couple of months in office. Ryancare aside, I think he’s done OK.

I’m not a fan. I think he’s highly overrated and has an obnoxious voice.

It just reveals that Gergen is an anti-American liberal if he thinks that about Trump’s first 100 days.

Surprised? Har.

Yes, Stein has certainly not been following Gergen on the subject of Trump for the last year, on CNN. Surprise is a laugh.

Perhaps Ben finally has had enough of Gergen and launches a counter argument, under the excuse of... a “surprise”. It’s an oh so friendly tip off to Gergen that he (Ben) is going to engage.

IMO, David Rodham Gergen is a walking around joke. He, like Lanny Davis, makes a living and gets paid to walk around, popping off with insults against people on our side of the aisle; is the target du jour. This was the just his latest inaneity.

Great story. Really instills confidence and endurance.

My dad was orphaned in 1928 (at age 10) and my mom was a polio survivor about the same time.

Both were depression kids...tough as nails. Never heard either one complain...always quick to laugh. Had positive outlooks on life always.

Life is what you make it.

“obnoxious voice”

Who said this about Trump?

Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

Gergen.
