Glad you're here! I fell for John Fugelsang the first time I saw him on TV. Actually long before that, because I heard him on the Stephanie Miller radio show and loved what he said. Because of that, he became part of the stable of people who were positioned to go on TV every so often because they were so clever and glib and could get points across VERY craftily and memorably and amusingly (read: harmless, when the "jester" does it and makes you laugh) and within just a few seconds (for broadcast, since you can't ramble on and on, but you have to edit yourself strategically). And best of all, he's good-looking and very photogenic. That can only help when you're talking on-camera. BIG asset. AND with brains behind that attractive face - BIG-TIME BONUS POINTS!!!

AND he's even got a gimmick. He's got a funny name. Even his name kinda makes you laugh. MORE bonus points. Making you laugh disarms you. And then you're owned.

He's a resource. And we need to grow and develop and exploit that resource. With all our might!
