“Root for America”

by the Pirate on October 14, 2007

I should have my interview with Wayne Allen Root up shortly; we created it in the form of a podcast from the tricked-out booth the media experts installed at CLC.

I’m actually very impressed with Root, and this fact surprised me just a little. After all, I can be a bit cynical about candidates for parties that may draw some support away from the GOP. On the other hand, the GOP and the Dems both suck so much right now that the more pressure they respectively experience to adhere to their ideals, the better.

I related to Root a lot more than I expected: after all, his background is in sports, and I am famously missing the “sports neuron” that causes people to yell at their television sets. But how could I not fall for a good-looking Libertarian businessman who is committed to the War on Terror and the U.S.’s alliance with Israel? He also has great teeth, and he bills himself as “a New York Jew, and a Las Vegas gambler.” Perfect.

My broadcasting skills leave something to be desired, but I’m certainly aware of what the sticking points are between social conservatives/terror hawks and Libertarians (and “small l’s, such as myself), so I asked most of the right questions—even if I stuttered and stammered a bit. (I may have to take a broadcasting course. After all, the solution to bad podcasting is more podcasting.)
