My PJTV interview with Fred Barnes is up. It was fun doing it in front of Nancy Pelosi’s private jet… scratch that…. Reagan’s Air Force One. But of course whatever is ferrying Nancy about is probably now vastly superior to the dated eighties-era vehicle porting The Gipper. Still, if you’re ever at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, you will doubtless want to go inside Air Force One, though it is surprisingly small on the interior, at least from my standpoint. [Beats Jet Blue.-ed. Even VirginAmerica.] Anyway, hope you enjoy the interview. Fred is one of those people who is just the same off screen as on – amusing, generous, smart (clearly), unflappable.

1. Steve:Fred seems to have a realistic attitude about politics. It is too bad his prediction (wish) that McCain would win did not come true.

Oct 17, 2009 - 2:30 pm 3. David Thomson:The comment made by Brit Hume to Fred Barnes caught my attention. Fox News merely took advantage of free money on the floor. It was patently obvious that a large segment of the American public was seeking a “fair and balanced” TV outlet.
