| Unforgettable interviews from Those
Politicos Over the years, Those Politicos has conducted thousands, maybe millions, of interviews with newsmakers and people who have shaped our modern world (please note that those are completely separate categories). Following are excerpts from some classic interviews that we had completely forgotten about. We call them, "The Unforgettables." Bob Bork is the inventor of the Spork, a fork/spoon combination that is credited with reducing table setting time by 33%. Mr. Bork visited the offices of Those Politicos to talk about his invention. Those Politicos: Welcome Mr. Bork and your spork. I know you have a busy schedule so we appreciate that you took a little "tine" to stop by. Bob Bork: Little tine? Oh my f***ing God, I'm not wasting my "tine" on you clowns. Hasta la vista, baby." Those Politicos: This concludes our interview.
Hugh Hefner is the creator and publisher of Playboy magazine. We visited him at his mansion in California. Those Politicos: Thanks for letting us interview you, Mr. Hefner. Hugh Hefner: No problem, Those. Hope I can call you Those. Anyway Politicos, I enjoy giving interviews since in-depth interviews with famous people is something for which our magazine is well known. Those Politicos: I'm sorry. Your magazine is well known for what? Hugh Hefner: Interviews with famous people. Those Politicos: Ha, ha. You're just jerking my chain, aren't you? Wait, let me rephrase that. Since when does Playboy have interviews? Hugh Hefner: We've always had interviews. Those Politicos: I thought you guys had those made up letters about having sex in crazy places. Hugh Hefner: Security! Those Politicos: This concludes our interview.
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was the Republican Vice Presidential nominee in 2008. We interviewed her at her kitchen table in Wasilla, Alaska. Before the interview started, she showed us the view of Russia from her window. We tried to explain that just because her neighbor has a bottle of Vodka on his picnic table doesn't make it Russia, to no avail. Those Politicos: Thank you for letting us interview you, soon to be Vice President Palin. Sarah Palin: Soon to be Vice President. Do you really think so? Those Politicos: Hell no, I was just trying to be funny. Sarah Palin: Secret Service! Those Politicos: This concludes our interview.
Glenn Beck hosts a popular and controversial show on FOX News, called the Glenn Beck Show, named after the host of the popular and controversial Glenn Beck show on FOX News which is hosted by Glenn Beck, host of the . . . Help, Jane, stop this crazy sentence! We interviewed him in his office. Those Politicos: Thank you for letting us interview you, Mr. Beck. Glenn Beck: God, I love America so much. Those Politicos: Yes, you've been heard to say that. Now, Mr. Beck . . . Glenn Beck: No seriously. I love America so much that it breaks my heart to see the mess we are in . . . sob. Those Politicos: Yes, we've seen you cry about it before, Mr. Beck. Glenn Beck: No, you don't understand. I love America so much that I weep uncontrollably every day. Those Politicos: That would explain the wadded up tissues covering your office floor. Now, Mr. Beck . . . Glenn Beck: No, no, you still don't understand . . . oh my God, here it comes again. Weep, boohoo, sob, cry. Those Politicos: You seem to be crying a river from your nose, Mr. Beck. Wait . . . now don't go trying to wipe that snot on me . . . oh my f***ing God. You're nuts. Security! Those Politicos: This concludes our interview.
Barack Obama was elected in a landslide victory to be the 44th President of the United States, even though many people seem to have forgotten that fact. We conducted our interview shortly before he was inaugurated. Those Politicos: Thank you for taking time for this interview, Mr. President. Barack Obama: Mr. President Elect. I take the oath of office in ten minutes. We need to make this quick. Those Politicos: No problem, Mr. President Elect. Ha, ha, nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Barack Obama: Who are you with, again? Those Politicos: Those Politicos. We have a web site. Barack Obama: You have a web site? So you paid a few bucks for a domain name and server space and then called yourself a news organization? Those Politicos: Um . . . pretty much. Barack Obama: Secret Service! Those Politicos: This concludes our interview. |
