Really, is this necessary?

Admittedly Lereah wrote a lot of real-estate-pumping books and articles, but he's no guiltier than
thousands of others in creating the real-estate bubble. I'd place more blame on the sleazy bankers
and government swells who aggressively encouraged people to speculate using subprime ARMs.

So why does Lereah deserve a BLP that seeks to portray him (repeatedly) as a joke?
He's already being pilloried on Amazon.
