he identified as a Libertarian, which has become an alt-asshole party and rather explains his self-absorbed personality. He only started calling himself a liberal when Bush was in office. Before that, he was critical and antagonistic toward both Democrats and republicans. He didn't have much good to say about either party. The corruption and deceit of the republican party seemed to have woke him up, though he probably wasn't alone in that.

I will give him credit for evolving, many people did, but apparently the old smug, self-absorbed aspect of his personality has lingered.
