Alvin Greene, The Laura Ingraham Interview

SC-SEN candidate Alvin Greene (D)

A bemused Laura Ingraham talked to Alvin Greene today in perhaps the most gratuitously mean Greene interview to date.

The conservative radio show host opened the interview by asking if President Obama, or Harry Reid, or Nancy Pelosi had called to congratulate him. (No, Greene answered, again and again.) Ingraham then asked Greene his stance on the threat of stagflation.

“That’s not good, we need to focus on getting Americans back to work,” he said.

At another point Ingraham asked: “I hear all these Democrats who are urging you to get out of the race … that you don’t know what you’re doing. How is that progress for black Americans if they’re trying to get you out of the race?”

She also asked Greene what he does for fun, to which he answered: “I hang out with friends, play sports, watch sports, listen to music.”
