Oh. Dear. I watched a video clip of him on Mahar's show. Uh. Did Max say 
something about feeling embarassed for the guy? I'm not sure I was 
embarassed but he was thrown softball after softball and he just seemed to 
look at Mahar with utter contempt. It was as if he were thinking, "WTF am I 
doing on this show with this eeeeeeeeeeediot? And do I really have to 
answer these eeeeediotic questions for a bunch of eeeeeeediotic people?"

Yikes. If he's going to grease the wheels, he'd have to exhibit contempt 
for the rightwing, not the ordinary viewer.
