We've noticed how beautifully you've been dressing on TV.
My daughter and my mother have given me a lot of shit for these clothes. I'm very proud. They always think the combinations don't go together.
They're kind of avant-garde, actually.
My daughter watches America's Next Top Model and all those shows. She says if I were a gay designer, this would be a perfect ensemble.
Do you have an inner gay designer?
I think I do, actually, yeah. For a right-wing pundit, which is a smaller category, a small subset.
Well, maybe larger than you think.
[huge laugh]
So tell me about your ensemble.
I probably got this at Brooks Brothers, I'm sad to say. It's like my family business. Wait, why am I doing this? I'm not doing this!
Just let me get a picture.
Okay, but if you humiliate me, I'll destroy you.
