Reason Writers Cross-Examined on Live Television: Matt Welch's C-SPAN Appearance

Watch as I field questions about slashing government, get called "barbaric" and "amazing" (and not in the good way!) by the American people, mispronounce the word "maestro," absorb a Rothbard-dropping, serially deploy the phrase "we are out of money," and parry questions about the nassty Kochses, in just 40 short minutes!

After it was over, off camera, when you slit your wrists, did it hurt much? Who intervened?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Greta is attractive. You and she should star in a romantic comedy airing Thursday nights on C-SPAN.

"He's an editor a reporter and stingy with a buck. She's a host with a lot to give. Watch as they grapple with issues of public policy... and of love."

[Fist of Etiquette]

Or maybe you solve crimes. I don't know.

[?]

Why can't it be both?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Moonlighting, that's why.

[Virginia]

Lots of awesome barbarians out there:
Conan
Thundar
now Matt Welch

Those guys knew how to party.

[Irresponsible Hater]

THUNDAR!

A.) You need better glasses.
B.) Is that a unibrow?

[Matt Welch]

Yes to both.

[Tanya]

Your old lady should really get on that.

[Matt Welch]

She's found the glasses solution (finding a replica of my departed Mississippi Burning specs), but I'm afraid the unibrow is non-negotiable.

[joshua corning]

Yeah a straight man who plucks his eyebrows is infinitely more grotesque then a unibrow.

[Tanya]

Just gotta make 'em symmetrical is all. Especially since I plan to watch this over dinner tonight.

[Paul]

Straight men shave their eyebrows. Right everyone? Right? Why is everyone looking at me like that?

[Spiny Norman]

Bob Geldof did it in The Wall. That worked out pretty well.

[Pedantic Sartorialist]

If I may, and FWIW:

A.) You need better glasses a monocle and tophat.

[solly989]

Snake in a python!!!

[Jason S.]

I wish he woulda said "snakes on a plane".

[Bee Tagger]

It's true, the camera does add 10 pounds to your glasses.

[James Ard]

Now I understand why you keep Bailey around. He provides awesome Koch brother cover.

[Warty]

I wish they'd let the furious ranting lady continue. Some of that was awesome.

[Tanya]

Ugh, "Created by cable, offered as a public service".

[James Ard]

It should say "created by the cable monopolies to try to keep the government off their back".

[Colin]

You actually mispronounced "quixotic" (kwik?s?tik) just before you mispronounced "maestro."

Kudos, though, for suffering through those forty minutes.

[Spiny Norman]

And epiphenomemunem.

[Irresponsible Hater]

Damn that is one pokey video player they use. Why does every tv website need to reinvent the wheel: just put that crap on youtube and be done with it.

[Charles 3E]

Matt, were you doing to a William F. Buckley dress-up party afterward?

[joshua corning]

didn't the last time you went on this show you got called a socialist for saying the french health care system works?

[Paul]

Who the fuck are the Kochses?

[CoyoteBlue]

Oh man, you are so behind the times.

The Koch Brothers are America's be-monocled Libertarian Overlords.

Obama and Nancy and Harry would have installed a total Social [semi]Democratic Utopia by now if it wasn't for those tricksy Kochs. Without their "covert" support for libertarian organizations, libertarianism would be a fringe political movement - rather than the vast thundering and overwelming force it is!

[Paul]

So thery're like the Soroses of Libertarianism. Check.

[lefty dumbass]

Children stupid, crippled people starving, Kochtopus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, those libertarians are crazy.

[Gargamel]

I see why you got the faggot haircut and pretentious glasses now. Yikes!
