Nick Gillespie on Fox News' Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano

On August 12, Reason's Nick Gillespie talked with Judge Andrew Napolitano, the host of the Fox News Channel's web show Freedom Watch. Among the topics covered: the end of left-wing anti-war demonstrations, the pushback against federalism when it comes to medical marijuana dispensaries in California and elsewhere, and the need to squeeze politics down to the smallest size in everyday life. And how the hell do you actually make change when stuck with Republicans and Democrats in charge?

Freedom Watch is now a daily show! Go here for details and scheduling/archive information.

Gillespie's appearance is approximately nine minutes long. For embed code, downloadable versions, and more videos, go here.

I don't even need to watch it to know the Judge is right on. Too bad we couldn't get that guy elected.

[Nick]

When I'm President, he's my SCOTUS pick.

[hmm]

intertubes?

I wouldn't vote for anyone who'd want the job.

Napolitano is so great, because he gets to host shows and invite reasonoids onto Fox News, then he actually lets them talk and make their points without interrupting them every two seconds to spout some obnoxious bullshit like Hannity or O'Reilly.

I'm thinking of getting me a trademark piece of clothing like Nick has. Maybe a sombrero or an over-sized bow tie.

[Xeones]

A beanie with a propeller on top?

Nick's Jacket is nice.
Bury me in it please.
A Black chick magnet.

Fuck, I can't count to seven, haven;t had my coffee yet. Fuck.

[troy]

Bow to the jacket.
Blondes will slobber over you.
naked in jacket.

Black leather is cool,
and so is Nick Gillespie.
I wish I were him.

For the record, the handful of goofers (I say affectionately and admiringly)in my little town who were in the town square protesting the wars when they were Bush's wars are still out there with their signs on the weekends and often on week days. But, honestly, Democrats never made up any substantial percent of the protestors around here. It has always been tea party/libertarian type for the most part. Some of these people are little goofy, but I love them all the more for it. They are always going to stand up for their principles no matter who occupies the Oval Office.

In black leather skin
He head-butts you in the balls
Nick Gillespie pwns.

Warty wins the thread
With some slapstick imagery
About Nick's dead cow

One of the (many) reasons I cannot stand television news of any kind is that the fucking hosts act like they snort some kind of meth/crack combo during commercials. They simply cannot let someone talk without interrupting every five syllables. Hell, they can't even ask a decent question; mostly, their "questions" are talking points they want the guest to agree with.

That video still is priceless. Looks like the judge is interrogating the purse-snatcher.

Nick and the jacket give off the "cool teacher" vibe. It always reminds me of the old Kids In The Hall sketch:

Balloon Maker,

I recommend a sarape, ? la The Man With No Name. Or maybe you'd prefer the Lee Van Cleef look?

[! @ ?]

God, Nick Gillespie is so freaking cool.

I once interviewed a Sein Fein leader who really pulled off the leather-jacket-and-tie look. I went right out and bought myself a similar jacket.
I can never wear it now amongst libertarians now, though, because folks will think I'm aping Gillespie.
