He was fantastic; covered so many different topics; and does that man know how to rant! No, this isn't a stiff Keith Olbermann rant, his is pure passion. It's obvious whatever he's involved in, he fully throws himself into it.

He used to be the host/moderator on a wonderful debate show on cbc called "counterSpin"...and it was great to see this 'socialist', as he calls himself, butting heads with the leading conservatives/republicans in the US - and stumping them completely. :D (there were 4 panellists - 2 representing the left, the other 2 the right) - damn, he could out argue any of them! (Chomsky seemed to be a favoured guest on there)


Did you know this is his father: http://www.stephenlewisfoundation.org/
