'House' Star Hugh Laurie Blasted by Left After Standing with Sophie Cunningham and Her Fight to Keep Men Out of Women's Sports

I hate to pull out the hoary, obnoxious indiehead upsmanship card, but I was into Hugh Laurie before you were into Hugh Laurie.

In fact, he got me into what’s arguably my favorite British author, P.G. Wodehouse.
