Matt Welch and Nick Gillespie Talk About The Declaration of Independents on Bloggingheads
On June 25, Matt Welch and Nick Gillespie, co-authors of The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong with America, put on their Saturday worst and recorded an hour-long diavlog about the book for Bloggingheads.tv. Those already familiar with the story may wish to jump to a discussion about gay marriage in New York, or fast-forward to the mutual-recrimination stuff at the end. Whole enchilada below:

No mister, my parents aren't home.

lol
Chris Hansen|6.29.11 @ 10:41PM|#
Mr. Gillespie, why don't you take a seat?
rather|6.29.11 @ 10:50PM|#
All wanna know is, if the cheap bastard brought over a Big Mac meal, or ordered off the $1 menu
Chris Hansen|6.29.11 @ 10:52PM|#
Butt-lube!
You're one sick man, Mr. Gillespie!
Gillespie's lawyer|6.29.11 @ 10:55PM|#
lip gloss :-)

How about these transcripts from your instant messaging with little Matthew.
Gillespie: Are you a virgin?
Welch: What is that?
Gillespie: Have you ever played with someone with your close off?
Welch: Ew, no. That's gross.
Gillespie: It's not that bad.
Welch: Really?
Gillespie: Sure! It's actually kinda fun!
Welch: Have you ever tried it?
Gillespie: Yes, with lots of people.
Welch: Does it hurt?
Gillespie: Not if you're careful. Do you wanna try?
Welch: Well, maybe.
Gillespie's lawyer|6.29.11 @ 11:05PM|#
Gillespie: Are you a virgin?
He meant have you ever eaten a rare burger. It's illegal in some places!
Gillespie: Have you ever played with someone with your close off?
close off: means shy
Gillespie: It's not that bad.
Of course it isn't bad to be shy!
Gillespie: Sure! It's actually kinda fun!
My client is so sweet and caring :-)
Gillespie: Yes, with lots of people.
He's a mentor!
Gillespie: Not if you're careful. Do you wanna try?
Safety equipment is important. WTH is wrong with you?
Chris Hansen|6.29.11 @ 11:09PM|#
I'm not finished.
Gillespie: Matt Welch, I wanna stick my penis in your anal canal. Is that okay with you, Matt?
Welch: As long as it doesn't hurt.
Gillespie: Good, because I then want to ejaculate in your rectum, and I don't want to wear a condom.
Welch: Well....
Gillespie: Do you love me, or don't you?
Welch: Yeah, I do.
Gillespie: Then you'll do this for me.
Welch: Okay.
Gillespie's lawyer|6.29.11 @ 11:18PM|#
Gillespie: Matt Welch, I wanna stick my penis in your anal canal. Is that okay with you, Matt?
Fuck, let me think....
Gillespie: Good, because I then want to ejaculate in your rectum, and I don't want to wear a condom.
Well, sperms has nutrients, and he was sharing!
Gillespie: Do you love me, or don't you?
Of course my client loves everyone, and wants to be loved.
Gillespie: Then you'll do this for me.
Sharing food is very libertarian. Like you expect one person to be the giver only. That's penis slavery!
Chris Hansen|6.29.11 @ 11:22PM|#
Fine, Mr. Gillespie, you may leave.

Hey, so far there's only one mention of our Koch overlords in the comments for the video.
I for one welcome our Koch overlords.
@ I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to
our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a
46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get
all this stuff, BetaSell.com

Mr. Hansen, why don't you take a seat?
Hansen's lawyer|6.29.11 @ 11:40PM|#
He was giving her career advice
Butts Wagner|6.29.11 @ 11:47PM|#
"How to get ahead"?
Hansen's lawyer|6.29.11 @ 11:50PM|#
No little boy, how to give head
Butts Wagner|6.29.11 @ 11:59PM|#
My name is Butts Wagner. I think I know penis puns when I make them.
Hansen's lawyer|6.30.11 @ 12:02AM|#
Sorry, but I thought you were an analogist

The sad thing is rather is the most real person posting on this thread.
Barack Obama|6.30.11 @ 12:37AM|#
Is he Josh? Is...he? I'm keepin' it pretty real. And I think corporate jet owners need to start....keepin' it.. real.

I'm starting to think libertarians, not unlike republicans have an homoerotic interest in homophobia. I've written about it!
