  1. Amazon.com Sales Rank: # 78,56   17 years ago

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

  2. JM   17 years ago

    Jesus, you'd think Welch was molested by McCain.

  3. Les   17 years ago

    Jesus, you'd think Welch was molested by McCain.

    You're thinking of the guys at Daily Kos. Matt's take on McCain is always level-headed and fact-based. Sometimes that kind of analysis is harder for loyalists to stomach.

  4. Milly   17 years ago

    "Jesus, you'd think Welch was molested by McCain."

    No, McCain had sex with Welch's mother when Matt was a little kid. I read it in Reason someplace. That's good enough for me. I'll try to find the link.

  5. Gustav   17 years ago

    ""Jesus, you'd think Welch was molested by McCain." "You're thinking of the guys at Daily Kos"

    The guys at Daily Kos molested Matt? How horrific. Is there nothing Matt wasn't forced to endure during his childhood?

  6. Episiarch   17 years ago

    It's "molestered". Get it straight.

  7. Ironic   17 years ago

    I think that Welch is buttering up McCain so that he can be appointed to a cushy government job in the Drug Enforcement Agency by John McCain when he takes office in January. That's it isn't it?

  8. Warty   17 years ago

    I have it on good authority that if Matt Welch had any integrity, he'd ask Barack HUSSEIN HUSSEIN HUSSEIN Obama a bunch of inane questions and post his answers on youtube.

  9. Barney   17 years ago

    "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

    Barney Says Please & Thank You (Barney) (Paperback)

    Amazon.com Sales Rank: #30,388

    http://www.amazon.com/Barney-Says-Please-Thank-You/dp/1570640238/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220901402&sr=1-3&tag=reasonmagazinea-20

  10. Claire   17 years ago

    "Barney Says Please & Thank You (Barney) (Paperback)

    Amazon.com Sales Rank: #30,388"

    Ouch!

  11. Trig   17 years ago

    ""Barney Says Please & Thank You (Barney) (Paperback)"

    I loved that book!

  12. Abdul   17 years ago

    Two years ago, everyone was laughing at Matt Welch. "Write a book about Giuliani," they said "McCain's all washed up."

    Who's laughing now?

  13. Abdul   17 years ago

    Well, I guess Barney is laughing to the bank.

  14. Borat   17 years ago

    "Well, I guess Barney is laughing to the bank."

    Matt Welch, eh, not so mucha.

  15. jbf   17 years ago

    This needs to be a podcast. In fact, most of the recent content on Reason.tv needs to be a podcast.

    Would make it much more work-friendly and gym-friendly.

  16. Abdul   17 years ago

    Would make it much more work-friendly and gym-friendly.

    Sweatin' to Matt Welch! Bet that cracks Amazon's 50,000 mark

  17. B   17 years ago

    Christ, can this douchebag talk about anything other than McCain?

  18. Gabe   17 years ago

    I am not a huge fan of Matt Welch but I like these clips. I also think it was smart to do the McCain book. If McCain wins, then Welch is the media's go to guy over the next four years for info on McCain. Nothing wrong with that. It is curious that he couldn't find any neo nazis or big time racist who donated $100 to McCain. It seems that he could mention this racist donation a lot and it would make McCain look worse.

  19. Douglas Fletcher   17 years ago

    So, have you got any offers for film options on the book?

    My offer is $100, but you have to buy me a camcorder first.

  20. Douglas Fletcher   17 years ago

    I still maintain that Matt doesn't like McCain.
