Ted Turner on Charlie Rose

[dougo]

Charlie Rose interviewed Ted Turner last week, and it's worth watching (the entire hour-long show is available via Google Video). It starts off somewhat slow, but once the conversation gets going (and Turner stops singing!) it's very entertaining. They blaze through a variety of topics, and Turner's straight talk shows why McCain really doesn't deserve that label. I briefly fantasized about a Ted Turner/Warren Buffett presidential ticket; this really isn't the year for more old rich white men in office, but among that category those might be the two I'd choose.

If it had to be rich, white men...

Then Buffett/Gates, because they already make a good philanthropy team. (Runner up: Soros/Bloomberg.)

If I can include politicians, then Al Gore/Mark Warner. But, thankfully, we don't have to choose between white men this time.
