More gratuitous Ben Stein bashing
This time from comedian/actress Julia Sweeney (via PZ Myers):
Ben Stein once did a Groundling show, an improv show, that I was a part of. I found him to be spectacularly ill-informed and narcissistic and weirdly devoted to his schtick and worst of all, hacky. He didn’t listen to his fellow performers and played everything outward to his friends in the audience who laughed (fake, forced) at every single thing he did.
He's not just anti-enlightenment. He's anti-comedy!
