This rebuke of Leo's latest idiocy, uh, columm, has reminded me of his existence and two things I used to wonder many years ago when I read US News regularly - 1) why was he hired? and 2) why has he been kept under contract? He's not an especially good writer. He doesn't typically have anything remotely resembling original ideas. Are his pontifications, which come off as things a blustery but supposedly kind-hearted uncle would say after Thanksgiving dinner, really that popular? I am rather perplexed at how he's lasted so long.
