Matt says this (A rare TV appearance):
For 18 years now, students have been telling me that I'm not funny. After watching this 2 minute Reuters television clip, I'm now thinking that they are right. Maybe I should stick to radio. I do thank the Obama Team's green job push for letting me have some "mike time". The media likes to find somebody to play "bad cop" and I've been enjoying this role.
Here is the background textual description of the clip:
Some skeptics wonder if President Barack Obama's $150 billion energy plan can grow the economy while greening America.
Some skeptics fear that Obama's kill-two-birds-with-one-stone approach might compromise both goals. But backers say history shows that a single-policy approach can work. Fred Katayama reports from New York. SOUNDBITES:

For the record, I agree with Matt.
