He's not a bad fellow, and he does actually try to push back occasionally against the troglodites he works with at Faux, which is more than can be said for Mara Eliason, who, if I'm not mistaken, still has a job at NPR. His firing was a case of PC run amok. He was canned because he expressed an emotional response that is no doubt shared by many. I don't wonder that he's still sore about it.
