That’s a good question, Johnson. Why is a reporter interviewing you?
Mr Weld is banging his head on his desk and we can’t get him to stop.
Apparently a dangerous drop in THC levels was occurring…
Stockdale/Shia Lebouef hybrid or something.
Wow, he’s crazy.
You know they really SHOULD interview Joe Exotic more.
“ex-alcoholic”? A dry stoner? oooh, dangerous combo:)
This is what happens when a burned-out stoner/ex-alcoholic decides he can run for President cause he “knows stuff.”
He cracks under the strain and shows what a fucking idiot he really is.
ANYBODY who votes for this burn-out is just as ignorant and clueless as he is.
Gary “Baked” Johnson has a long way to go to catch up with Mike Gravel from the 2007 campaign.
But he’s trying damn hard…
I so wish the reporter had answered, “Good question. This is a waste of both of our time.” And then left the room.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the man a few bitter berniebros consider to be the alternative to being forced by the cruel, cruel forces of democracy to vote once again for the lesser evil.
When pressed on his tax policy, which Johnson has said involves abolishing income tax and corporation tax, the Libertarian candidate segued into a bizarre metaphor about the legalization of marijuana.
“Look, I came out for the legalization of marijuana. Let me just use that as an example,” Johnson barked. “And I will tell you that I had people in my face for years and years and years talking about how stupid and how idiotic it was that we should allow marijuana to be legal.”
Now, to be fair, it’s not a “bizarre metaphor” to trumpet what could be construed as a brave stance on one issue to suggest his thinking-outside-the-box views on another may prove right. It’s a non-responsive answer, but it’s not bizarre, and it’s not really a metaphor.
But OTOH, his tax policies themselves are bizarre.
Why do reporters bother to interview this man? Don’t they have other interesting subjects?
Why should anyone vote for you Gary? I can’t think of one damn reason.
Cue the Fredo clip
Two years from now, the GOPers running for Pres will start by saying they are the dumbest fuckers on the planet and, of course, Meeka and Joe will approve mightily. Gotta love this world we live in. We are all assholes on this bus.
Nice caricature you got there steve.
Paging Dr. Feelgood, someone harshed the Governor’s buzz and he needs an edible, stat.
Why are you posting this question here? Don’t you have anything else more interesting to do?
We could follow this line of reasoning all day.
Honestly, when I heard about this gaffe, I didn’t know what Aleppo was either.
I’m sympathetic to the idea that a man or woman running for an office should not necessarily be expected to be as fully versed as he or she would be if all they had to do every day was get briefed on key news events by experts keeping up with them.
Heck, I lose track of the weather when I just go out of town for a weekend.
That said, how one handles the situation is relevant and informative. Gary didn’t do well.
People often get cranky when they give up drugs.
