Preston on Politics: Bueller? Bueller? -- McCain needs Rove - CNN.com

That's right, that Karl Rove.
At a time when McCain is seeking to distance himself from President Bush, Stein argues McCain needs to enlist Bush's chief political guru in order to defeat Sen. Barack Obama.
"I don't discount the possibility that some really smart person at the McCain campaign might go over to Karl Rove, and say 'We will offer you all the kingdoms of the world if you will come and guide our campaign,' " a hopeful-sounding Stein said in a recent interview, during which he also discussed Al Franken's Senate bid and his thoughts on a sequel to the 1986 box office smash "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," which launched Stein's film career.
Stein is not unlike many Hollywood types in that he speaks his mind when it comes to politics. But what separates him from the pack is his professional background and party affiliation.
Stein is an actor and an author, but he is also an economist, columnist and, yes, a lawyer. And he is a Republican, making him a minority in Tinseltown political circles.

Did I mention that Stein also worked as a speech writer for President Richard Nixon and President Gerald Ford? Yes, that's right, that Richard Nixon.

I don't think Karl Rove would want to take the pay cut.

McCain could really use the services of Dick Morris.

Yes, he has a shot, besides, Rev. Wright is still alive and well. No telling what he'll have to say between now and November.

Oh he'll not say anymore. He was conveniently used last time and has been put on the bench for the rest of the season.

I was thinking the first line of negative Rev. Wright commercials might get him out and talking.

What's interesting about Ben Stein is that he is 1) from hollywood, 2) Jewish and 3 (here's the kicker) is a conservative Republican

To be accurate, before he was "from hollywood", he was a lawyer and a speech writer for Nixon and Ford.

and 4) given that he's from Hollywood, he at least has a functioning brain cell.

Personally, I like Ben Stein. I think he is a smart cookie. You only have to hear him for about 30 seconds to realize he knows more about his subject than any 100 narcissistic Hollywood personalities.

No way Ben Stein knows more than Clooney/Penn. They were in more movies. Duh.
