Ben Stein Watch: March 2, 2008
I have to admit I harbored some hope that Ben Stein wouldn't have a column in the NYT this week. After all, he had three columns in December, two in January, and only one in February - simple extrapolation would have denied him any columns in March at all. But it was not to be, and today he has decided to defend Exxon Mobil, in classic Stein fashion:
...When Mr. Obama or his Democratic rival, my fellow Yale Law School graduate Hillary Rodham Clinton, go after the oil companies and want to take away their profits, they are basically seeking to lower the income of the ordinary American.
