8 Administrations puts us back to Eisenhower, so I don't think Chomsky has been a critic that long. IIRC Chomsky decided to get vocal about his views during the Vietnam/Nixon era. So that would put us at 6 administrations.
Now also consider the affiliations of those administrations. There have been both Republican and Democratic admins. Chomsky has been a critic of the foreign policy, not that party. That is consistency and does not show boas. It shows clarity of thought and a belief in what is right, regardless of party affiliation. Chomsky is very much a person who believes the United States should let countries govern themselves, and keep the American nose out of their business. That is a refreshing attitude to see. I applaud him for it.
