He's so right! DeMint started the recession!

I wish our politicians had the BALLS to stand up to DeMint....

In fairness, it's not like the interviewer's questions deserved a winning response. Seems like they're both taking the p1ss out of each other there.

ETA: I watched more of the video and if I was that interviewer, I would probably would have taken the p1ss too! Oh, Alvin.

Apparently he was called turtle in school because he was slow. I have a feeling that the gop had something to do with his nomination.

I personally believe that Alvin should just give up on politics and go chase some poon, such as ....

If you substitue 'Lehman's' for 'DeMint', our government sound much the same as this fellow when discussing the cause of our economic woes.
