I liked him in the movie "Dave", and in other very small doses.

Our parents used to tell us that we couldn't believe everything we read. It seems to me that people somehow don't think this applies to something that comes from the internet.

Did you see "Sleepless in Seattle?". Two children hack themselves into the boarding system of an airline. In order to travel alone the boy must pretend to be 15.
Boy: "They will never believe I am 15"
Girl: "If it's in the computer they believe everything!"

Anyway, I think people are more naive wrt printed words than internet information. People (wrongly) trust their old school books more than WikiPedia.

Of course you have good information and bad information both on internet and printed.

Yes, he was a Nixon and Ford speech writer. I just looked at his Wikipedia page, and he's had quite a career. Before getting into politics and entertainment, he was a lawyer and a professor.
