I was criticized for suggesting the young man be given a staff job to keep him busy. Guess we'll see what he has to say.

I did find the comments about Carville & Axelrod to be funny and direct, and it's good that he's sticking up for his dad.

It's Festivus in July if you want some airing of grievances..

EDIT: I've listened some more and he's actually picked a very good format and acquitted himself very well. Interviewer is very hands off and back-fills the video w/context in a non-intrusive manner. I thought it was a gag/tabloid sort of thing but it's actually very well done.
