Former NM governor on Colbert Report...

[Duckmang]

Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico, appeared recently on the Colbert Report, supporting legalization and decriminalization of marijuana. This guy gave a great interview and although we already know what he was saying is true it's good to hear people in politics using truth instead of fear, which by the way was one of his talking points. The best part of his interview..."the first time I smoked pot I thought 'the government lied'...

Colbert really had a blast trying to play devil's advocate but never came out denying any of the claims the former governor made. My only complaint was the length of the interview didn't give enough time for real discussion.

HIGH-larious. Gary Johnson is apparently a reasonable man with no future political aspirations.

NICE! He's a republican too?!? Definitely no future in politics for him, the truth and government are like oil and water. Colbert never gives his guests enough time to argue their point, but he did get some good ones in.

Colbert is a pompous Ass, he does not do interviews he does interupts

LOL... have any of you ever heard of "schtick"? Its a COMEDY SHOW. The "pompous ass" is a character designed to make you laugh. If you are going to Colbert or the Daily Show for your news and quality interviews, you're living in a fantasy world. Granted, you occasionally get something of quality, more likely on the Daily Show than the Report, but really... what do you expect? The channel is "COMEDY CENTRAL"...

For the record, this man, I have been watching for a little over a year now. He says what he means and does what he says. He comes from a state, that is 2 to 1 dems to repubs and took it!!! Hes got a great track record to prove it!! Im pushing for him as we speak.. He byfar, is what this fucking country needs and really what us cannabis users need.

That is his comedy...pure sarcasm-- Everything he says is opposite...if he speaks against, he is really for it-- Funny guy, IMO--
