Hagelin came across as the phony he was.
And what was that phoniness? It was pretending to be a legitimate
third party candidate when, in reality, he was a disciple of a guru
who had instructed his cult start a third party in order to promote
a meditation technique. In other words: sneakily and underhandedly
exploit the political process in order to promote something else.
This was amply demonstrated in a succinct and curt manner by the
comedian Beth Littleford on Bill Maher's old "Politically Incorrect"
show when Littleford and Hagelin were two of the four guests on the
show one night during one of the presidential campaigns. After
Hagelin bloviated about some made-up public policy point that the
NLP stood for, Littleford simply said (paraphrased): "John, I've
been to your website. You're a shill for the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
and all that you're trying to do is sell Transcendental Meditation."
And then, embarrassingly, Hagelin tried to deny it, making himself
in the process look like the liar that he is. And then he pretty
much shut up for the rest of the program.
Littleford, along with John Colbert, used to be one of about four
correspondents on "The Daily Show" before John Stewart replaced
Craig Kilbourn as host.
So here's this comedian who, in one short paragraph, took apart the
venerable greatest scientist in the world, His Excellency Doctor
John Hagelin (did I leave out any officially designated superlatives
or titles?).
