Nicholas Von Hoffman
Nicholas Von Hoffman is an author and columnist. He is currently working as a writer and journalist for the New York Observer. He was formerly a guest commentator on Sixty Minutes in the 1970s, but was fired by Don Hewitt .
Von Hoffman was in Afghanistan and predicted that the United States and its allies would be defeated shortly after the fall of Kabul.[1] Shortly thereafter the Taliban went into full out retreat and the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar fell. Columnist and blogger Andrew Sullivan created a parody Von Hoffman Award which he gives out for egregiously bad predictions.[2]
