I don't know either. He started the minute we sat down. It took about half an hour for the crew to set everything up and he started hammering immediately. He kept asking me about my politics. At first I said, let's wait for the debate (which is what the producers always like to hear). Finally said I was a commie who wanted to expropriate the likes of him. A bunch of times I was tempted to walk off even before it started, but I want the Real News people to ask me back. > It just amazes me how utterly sure of themselves these libertarian types are.

I was amused that he couldn't really name a way in which those onerous regulations stopped him from doing anything he wanted.
