Now Playing at Reason.tv: Saturday Night Live-ish with Red Eye's Greg Gutfeld and Drudge Report's Andrew Breitbart
On Saturday, February 9, the host of Fox News' Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld and the man who writes The Drudge Report, Andrew Breitbart, sat down after CPAC, the year's largest gathering of conservative activists, and heavy drinking to talk about liberals, conservatives, the media, hairlines--and how rejection slips from reason in the 1980s helped make them who they are today. It's a rollicking, wide-ranging half-hour of a long day's journey into night, hosted by reason's Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch.

What mortal tedium.
Excellent broadcast. Do more of them. With even more beer and Beatles hair.
A.B.'s explanation of his politics pretty much summed it up: "Everyone around me was a liberal, so I had to rebel." No mention of what is good for the country, why one policy is better than another, just the need to be different than the people he was living around. That is modern American conservatism.
Of course, some guy, you could probably also find lots of people who would say that "Everyone around me was a conservative, so I had to rebel."
I don't think its just a conservative thing.
In any event, the choose-your-politics-by-blind-rebellion crowd is vastly outnumbered by the choose-your-politics-by-following-the-herd crowd.
I'd like to thank Nick Gillespie for his determined, though failed, efforts to prod those two into saying something interesting. Matt Welch might have made a better impression if he learned how the microphone works.
RC Dean, right on.
next time can we get some Kerry Howley? she always looks real hot on Red Eye.
If Andy Breitbart writes the Drudge Report, what does Drudge do?
