So John Stossel, the exceedingly destitute man’s Michael Medved, was apparently on-hand for the James Leininger-fueled school-voucher follies overtaking the Capitol yesterday. Hey, his lack of knowledge on, well, practically everything never stopped him from tossing off lithe Libertarian turds of indignation on anything before, so why should he stop now?

Fun Stossel fact: Did you know his first big break was exposing – get this – that pro wrestling is faked? We know, we couldn’t believe it either. Judging from the clip here, neither could his interviewee.

OK, so he might deserve a little break there.
