Leo Laporte calls Andrew Z. a slut. Why I don’t know? Great show gentleman!!!
I just have to comment on the mention of the Showtime Oliver Stone show that Andrew likes. Paul way understated it that Stone can be a bit biased. This show is a travesty of deceit in light of the shallow education most Americans receive in history. I would hope that most people would laugh off someone like Oliver Stone by now but the possibility that people might take this show as anything even resembling a truthful account of history worries me. The outline for this shows script comes from a book from 1952 by Carl Marzoni that was literally funded by the KGB. It is the worst sort of proganda that seeks, among other things, to whitewash as vile a figure as Josef Stalin. See this video link (http://youtu.be/wRtgjRhTdUw) for some discussion about the show and then decide whether you should waste any more time listening to someone as unhinged and fevered in his thinking as Oliver Stone. Showtime should be shamed into cancelling this. It is an offense to the millions who suffered under Soviet rule.
