It only gives him more "heft" if he's not angling for a new career. As I've said, his positions seem to be setting himself up for politics rather than absolving himself of political involvement. And, when he was a Bush supporter, what was your opinion of his "heft"?

Knowing more than most and thinking that everyone that doesn't agree with you is wrong are also two very different things. I never said he wasn't qualified to offer an opinion. I question anyone who doesn't at least acknowledge that others' opinions may be valid.
