There was an extensive interview with Zimmy a few months ago in Rolling Stone (I wouldn’t pay a Canadian cent for that rag, and read it in a B&N Starbucks cafe, but since I wouldn’t pay a Zimbabwean cent for a Starbucks coffee, I didn’t buy a drink either!) where he wouldn’t let the interviewer pin him down on politics, though he did express some standard moonbat sympathies, I’m afraid.
"Poverty is demoralizing,'' he said. "You can't expect people to have the virtue of purity when they are poor. But we've got this guy out there now who is redefining the nature of politics from the ground up — Barack Obama. He's redefining what a politician is, so we'll have to see how things play out. Am I hopeful? Yes, I'm hopeful that things might change. Some things are going to have to."
