Let's compare Sean Penn's, Alec Baldwin's, Barbara Streisand's, (or even John Kerry's) credentials to Ben Stein's. He picked up acting as an amusing distraction to real life. To these others, and their followers, it is real life. It's funny how the clueless on the left are so quick to shout "he's just an actor" when in fact that is exactly what most of their spokespersons are; a surprising percentage of which are high-school dropouts. Funny how the "intellectually superior" left listens to such, while the dumb rednecks on the right quietly present eloquent, well educated spokesmen like Ben Stein.
