This is ridiculous . . .

Apparently the next Beck target is Cass Sunstein, co-author of Nudge. His ideas have been all but endorsed by the likes of Greg Mankiw, Steven D Leavitt and all kinds of very market-oriented economists and business managers. He himself has even presented and been well-received at the libertarian CATO institute (a very interesting listen by the way). How are we supposed to attract competent and fresh-thinking individuals to low-paying government jobs if they know they're going to be intellectually lynched by politically-motivated demagogues?
