Rude Pundit and I co-hosting a radio show? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

31. Should be interesting, two people on the same show, after the Brian Williams interview with Snowden

that have vastly different views of truth telling. Someone who is not afraid of the truth, like the Rude Pundit, who compares Snowden to Thoreau:

The Snowden on NBC was not some dupe or naif. He merely exists in a long line of Americans who had enough of what their government was doing and decided to behave accordingly. Lacking the ability to revolt (like those law-breaking traitors, the Founders), he broke the law and engaged in civil disobedience, like unionized workers on an illegal strike, like civil rights lunch counter sitters, like bootleggers, like Vietnam War rioting protesters, like so many, right and wrong, in American history. When the Rude Pundit thinks about Snowden, he doesn't automatically leap to Martin Luther King, Jr. for comparison. Instead, he thinks about the canonized American writer Henry David Thoreau and his essay, "Civil Disobedience."

And, you know, someone who is afraid of the truth:

When you examine all of this, I think that anyone who still finds Snowden credible needs to have their heads examined.

Edward Snowden wins the award for worst and most shameful nonsense of the week.
