Questions for Arlo Guthrie
29th July 2009
Interview in some left-wing rag. Warning: He looks like the Cowardly Lion.
Where are you politically these days?
I became a registered Republican about five or six years ago because to have a successful democracy you have to have at least two parties, and one of them was failing miserably. We had enough good Democrats. We needed a few more good Republicans. We needed a loyal opposition.
Like Lindsay Graham, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Arlen Specter?
Have you ever seen “American Idol”?
No, I have never watched it. But I’m thankful we’re living in a world where we can actually afford to waste your time. What a great thing that is.
