Paul Rodrigez was on Tavis tonight and he was on fire.

He had a nice 4 minute rant on Bush, Iraq, War for oil, etc.

It was awesome!

what happened to him?.....he used to be a wingnut, as of recently

2. You'll enjoy the interview

Very grounded. Content with not being in the limelight. Was in the military, but he very opposed to the war. Not a fan of either Bush or Kerry.

I've never seen a serious interview with him. I was quite impressed with his honesty and outlook on life.

3. What? I never thought of him as a wingnut.

As a matter-of-fact, when Bush got selected, he was the first to say something to the effect (paraphrasing) that did everyone get amnesia? Didn't they remember the Reagan/Bush regime?

4. Paul Rodriquez? I doubt it

He's always been very liberal on race and equality issues. He's been an outspoken critic of Hollywood's lack of Hispanic roles, etc.

I can see him criticizing both sides, but I can't imagine him siding with neocons. I remember him being very anti-Reagan.

5. I saw him talking about being a father for the first time; getting older,

getting more conservative, which bummed me, cause I remembered him as being left-leaning in the past. when he said the bit about getting older, more conservative, I changed channels....he wasn't very funny that time, either......seems like that always happens when you switch over to the dark side. ask Dennis Miller, or any of the other fascist court jesters......glad to hear he's come back into the light

7. Dennis Miller was never on the light side

He's not nearly as smart as he sounds. He just follows whatever pop political movement is popular. He was a Perot guy at one time. No suprise he's backing Bush now. He's got no depth. Although I thought he was decent on MNF.

I heard Rodriquez doing a routine about turning 40 and getting a colon scope. Wasn't very conservative, especially when he said that after a while, he started to enjoy it.

6. wingnut?

hmm I've never heard to him refered too as such.

He is a pretty cool guy IMO.
