The interview was over 2 years old and sitting in a can. Since the formerly scary black man is now on a show that the Faux audience watches they dug it up to give Palin's lame show a boost.
The thing that was funny was their bs attempt to disrespect him by calling him a fledgling actor. Really? So being a working actor for just shy of 20 years makes you a newbie....right. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Martin Baxter <martinbaxt...@...> wrote: > > Axe?
