John Ratzenberger, who spoke so well and cuttingly at the Brown event in Massachusetts yesterday, played Cliff Clavin on Cheers. Kelsey Grammer, Frasier from Cheers and Frasier, is also a committed and articulate conservative. And then there’s me — I was a writer and co-executive producer of that show. Three wing-nuts on one show? What are the odds?
