Message Bernard Weiner


As for popularity, these politicians and pundits become the media darlings of the right, and then, inevitably, they start to lose their luster and a new goofy hero appears to be fauned over. Glenn Beck is a good example: amazingly popular with the Know-Nothing crowd, and then he got wackier and wackier, and his star dimmed. Let it be so for the rest of them. 


Hope all is well with you two and the kids. I miss hanging out with you all. Maybe next year. Thanks again for writing. 


Warmly, Bernie
