If I could choose three historical figures with who to sit down over a beer and solicit wisdom, and just bask in their presence, they would be: Jesus, George Washington, and Whittaker Chambers. I would hope that some of their goodness would rub off on me somehow.

Reading the writings of Whittaker Chambers is no guarantee of wisdom, as Sarah Palin's 2010 book demonstrated -- see review <a href="http://wcinbooks.whittakerchambers.org/2011/03/ghost-in-sarah-palin-book/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://wcinbooks.whittakerchambers.org/2011/03/ghost-in-sarah-palin-book/</a>

Reading writing is not the same thing as understanding it and choosing to live by it.

Is that a comment on Sarah Palin, or whom?

Yeah, a gentle dig at Palin, and others who don't get the point that I'm emphasizing with the selection of this passage -- the tragic view of human nature.
