Good point, from a reader:

Jonah,
I agree the ranking of conservatives is pretty silly, but the liberal
rankings are even more so, and proves much of what gets said on The
Corner, mainly that conservatism is rooted in history, ideas and
thinking. The liberal list reads more like a Hollywood dinner party,
filled with actors, comedians and producers. Then you’ve got media
hounds like Sharpton, Jackson and Carter. Medea Benjamin? Who’s heard
of her outside the farthest left or political junkies? I doubt my
democrat in-laws know who she is and they were near hippies in the
60′s. It proves a very sad point about the left and their intellectual
bankruptcy. At least the republican actor has a law degree and Senate
experience.
