I am quite confident that you pulled this quote from yet another far
left website and that you actually have never read Atlas Shrugged.

Otto would rather play "Spiro" the purple dragon on his Wii than actually educate himself by reading a book.

Notice also that Otto makes up silly names for Fox News, Drudge and any radio talk host he doesn't like, but then quotes Soro's boy Brock over at Media Matters as if the guy is preaching the gospel. And all his sources supposedly, according to Otto, back up their rants with real facts. When you check those "facts" they turn out to be nothing.

Most of the articles he cites end up contradicting his assertions.
