Was that the clip where he mentions eating "kitty" while being interviewed? Even I was shocked by that one.

Search for the latest episode with Patrick Stewart. I don't know how long the link will be active, but by then someone has usually youtubed it.
(though the interview with Geoff Rush is cool as well.) I can't watch it without a proxy, but it should work for you.

No, I think that is an older one, Patrick has been a guest a few times IIRC.

I had heard of it Gf, just been too busy to comment on it. I really shouldn't tease guido though - DC mayor marion barry was caught smoking crack by the FBI in 1990- he served time and in an astounding political comback became mayor for another 4 year term(95 to 99) and is now on the DC city council. he is mired in tax issues and nepotism charges, but that is marion barry (democrat btw). {then there are all issues of dc home rule being extra-constitutional and there really needs to be an amendment to the constitution!}

Thing is, Rac...I think many politicians do this sort of thing and they just keep it on the down low. Drugs, sex, affairs, bribes, you name it...just a few get exposed. And you know what? The voting public is doing these things too...the majority of them. That is why the puritan, Christian lifestyle that is valued by that constituency is no longer considered a prerequisite for serving public office. And committing such acts is no longer a barrier to serving either. Chalk it up to "progress".
