On this past weekend’s CBS Sunday Morning, commentator Ben Stein (probably best known as the “Bueller? … Bueller? … Bueller?” guy) goes out of his way to defend government workers from unfair attacks by his fellow conservatives.

Calling civil servants “lazy and shiftless,” says Stein, “is unfair and not even in the ballpark of what’s true.”

Stein: “Look, let’s take our conservative noses out of the air and stop sneering at the people who serve us in the government. We’d be awfully sad if they were gone, even the ones in the Department of Motor Vehicles.”
