Ben Stein = One truly intelligent individual who's prolly forgotten more about economic and foreign policy than about 99% of the general population.

Actually, I think he'd be VERY effective in a Cabinet position.

he is lawyer,speech writer, actor, and game show host I do believe.

He wrote speeches for nixon. He has played several small rolls in movies and TV as well as Win Ben Steins money.

While it might not reveal all his stances on various issues. He was a speech writer for Nixon and Ford and has friends in the current White House administration. Seem hes likely to be pretty conservative to me.

I think he is decently smart... I don't think he's a genius, though. True geniuses don't act like they have to prove it.
