Video: Google Pop/Politics Panel w/ Me, Winstead, Obama Girl Guy, etc.

Friday I was so annoyed that I couldn't get my Tivo to record our Google Pop Culture and Politics panel as it was aired by C-SPAN. I completely forgot that this event took place at Google, and thus, is on YouTube. I'm an idiot.

Anyway, here's the 45 minute video of our panel. They cut the opening Onion News Network video I showed right after my intro, but you can see it here. I haven't replayed the entire thing, so they may have also cut the second Onion video I showed, which is friggin hilarious.

Highlights:

  • My hot shirt. Seriously, you know you love that shirt. Jill Sander baby! Bought it myself

  • Christopher Hitchens. Look at his beverage. That ain't ginger ale

  • Lizz Winstead. My hero. Twas an honor to tag team with her against our cable news-defending moderator

  • After the panel, the Google folks got short one-on-one interviews with all of us. Here's mine.


And now, the panel...
