A reader inquires whether, perhaps, Loafer is someone I simply made up, and adds:

If you did make up Loafer, that's a work of genius. He offers an interesting foil, albeit an unrepresentative one (perhaps along the lines of Alan Colmes).

Oh!

Harsh!

I feel confident the Fox News comparison will be a direct hit on the Loafman.
