Juan Williams is a second-rate thinker

Most of the time he manages to be objective, but his performance on Fox News Sunday (transcript on Best of the Web. Scroll down to head, Hypocritical Hypotheticals) He repeats 6 times Bill Bennett's great sin of using an outrageous hypothetical to illustrate a point. His point that such hypotheticals are offensive regardless of the underlying point is pretty much discredited by his example, because nobody really thought that he was actually proposing any of the outrageous examples he lists.

Don't j-schools require any training in critical thinking? I guess not.
