Wow...parts of the interview were great..up until he rambled on about how great Sarah Pallin is then trashed the Democrats shit on Blair and then defended Bush. 20 minutes earlier he said you were well informed..and later infered your views were - well he did not say but somehow thought your knowledge of worldly events were much less than his (he thought he knew you might be a dare I say it "democrat". Somewhere along listening I missed my turn from the metro and found myself walking around a mall listening to his dribble while I was "lost in time...or perhaps lost in translation". I am pretty sure he does not get invited out much in la la land.
If your going to interview nut cases like him - you should have a warning at the front end of the show: "caution to not drive, drink or walk listening g to this podcast". :)
Edmontonguy.
Edmontonguy is right. How could you interview someone who could possibly see something to admire in former President Bush?
We certainly should not tolerate political views that may be different from our own.
