double standard in media, specifically as it results affected the two main kind of populous uprisings we ve had in the last couple years. on the one hand the tea party and on the other side, the occupy movement. and you correctly portray, i think in a very humorous way, how the occupy was kind of romanticized by the main stream media, while the tea party portrayed adds bumpkins and people who were uncool. and i also think that you point out very correctly that the president has a cool factor that mitt romney did not. greg: i think the media contributed to obama s election. but through this the cool over the uncool and the tea party is almost seen as your parents whereas the occupy wall street for reporters, they see themselves. we ve got to move on. but thank you for plugging my book. that was very nice. quick note, bill currently has two books on the new york times best seller list. i bet you didn t know about that.
