Yes, he has played a significant role in past elections all the way back to Reagan, and you haven't noticed.

He's an intellectual pundit that was on Fox News until 2017. He writes political commentary for the Washington Post; his column currently appears in 415 newspapers.

He won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary.

He continues to appear on MSNBC to this day.

He's also considered to be a baseball expert who has written extensively on the subject including his own book. Their "baseball fan" comment was intended to be cute, I think.

Thalidomide was originally created in Nazi Germany as a sedative for healthy, non-pregnant adults. After the war many of the drugs created during the war were boxed up by German pharmaceutical companies. The story of Thalidomide is simply mind-blowing from start to finish.

Frances Oldham Kelsey at the FDA in the United States almost single-handedly, and while under enormous pressure, kept Thalidomide out if the USA for insufficient safety testing.

One reason that Americans are a bit less familiar with this horrific story.

When I was younger and drank more I did this, and it sure helps with hard liquor.

When you're drunk that big glass of water can be hard to get down, but do it anyway.
