One of the nice thing about Audities is the absence of political comments. That said, as someone who is clearly to the left of Mr. Swirsky, I still have to ask how the hell you can label him a nutjob for setting forth cogent political analysis in generally a rational non-hysterical manner. I may not agree with his political musings, but to dismiss him as a nutjob is just plain wrong. Disagree. I do in many respects (though his VP analysis is quite good), but do not dismiss, for that dismissiveness smacks of an intellectual tyranny that is becoming way too prevalent on the left and leads to debacles like the Duke Lacrosse hoax. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Hickey" To: Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 5:03 PM Subject: Re: Fw: seth swirsky > On 9/13/07, Bob Hutton wrote: >> I know many people have been raving about the Red Button CD (personally I >> prefer The Rutles), I stumbled on the link below in another blog.
