George Carlin on Muhammad Ali Protesting Vietnam

Let me put it this way, in Queensbree I have found the perfect reverse barometer. You can't go wrong in going the opposite way to whatever he recommends. Bear in mind that he is a creature who claims:

1 Cassius Clay Couldn't fight
2 Larry Holmes was a tub-of-lard scrub
