So it's an accomplishment to "see through" Sykes? No, he is so predictable it's pathetic. The really sad part about Sykes is that he is a very intelligent man. I think of people like Belling and Wagner as being genuinely dumb, maybe in Belling's case in possession of a certain low animal cunning. But Sykes is an extremely bright man who at some point figured out what sells and now relentlessly peddles it -- even stuff that he is far to bright to actually believe.
sykes. posing as a reasonable pundit, appeared on tv on election night 2008 , saying that obama had a chance to be a great president. radio charlie than proceeded on a daily basis to undermine him at every turn.
