Radio talk show host Mark Levin interviews US Senate candidate Alvin Greene (D-SC) about his campaign, his pornography scandal, if he is a GOP plant and what he hopes to achieve if elected Senator.

The notable part of the interview occurs at the end, when Greene is unable to name his Republican opponent Jim DeMint. Greene gave a long pause and sounded like he was searching through talking points for DeMint's name.

Give him a break...he’s focusing on the issues.

Let me get my calculator out! Hmmmmmm he says he is 32. Ok click click. And he spent 13 years in the military. Click (minus sign) then click click —— then click(=) Hmmmmmm .... Gee he was at least 19 when he joined the military and he has a degree in PoliSci (4yrs?) from U.S.C. Hmmmmmm .... the man must be a savant genius!

[goodnesswins]

I didn’t hear the interview....but have heard about the “communication problems.” What I am still trying to figure out is WHY IT COSTS $10,000 to run for office in SC? Is this standard practice....I mean, that’s quite a filing “fee.”

Green/Biden 2012.

If he was reading a teleprompter, he might do better. Obama is just as clueless when facing an unscripted question. Obama does have more practice bullshitting, so he engages his yap in a stream of socialist nonsense.

[shalom aleichem]

Right. Bambi can’t name one of his college or law school professors.

[Brytani]

Doesn’t one need to be 35 to become a Senator?

[Brilliant]

If I were a Democrat, I would vote for him. He’d be the best man on the Dem ticket.

But hey... What did he get for the $10,400 I wonder? The Dems took his money, and won’t let him run even though he won the primary. Just like a Dem.

[no-llmd]

He is a plant! To make barry look good.

"Gee he was at least 19 when he joined the military and he has a degree in PoliSci (4yrs?) from U.S.C. Hmmmmmm .... the man must be a savant genius! "

I believe all the branches of service have degree completion programs - that is to say you get to remain on active duty while attending college. Now, the chance of this guy qualifying for such a program is virtually nada, but it's a possibility, albeit a remarkably small possibility.

30. 35 is for presidents.

[Cyclops08]

I can see something really horrible happening.
Alvin Green becomes such a joke that he sweeps the election.

Lets face it Democrats will never vote GOP, and he’s get all the yellow dog votes. I’m thinking the universities will take up the cruel joke and campaign for this guy.

I hate to say...it could happen.

[rogue yam]

He is obviously ‘mentally challenged’ and who ever is using this guy is sick.

I agree that Mr. Greene is an unusually unintelligent man but I do not know that anyone is using him. So far there is no evidence to prove this.

[Notasoccermom]

I wonder if Oprah will go down and campaign.

[DebraAI]

Seems as intelligent as most other Dems ...lol

[FrankO]

Yup, this guys looks like a fine regular democrat to me.

[FrankO]

Hey, don’t laugh this guy could be our next president i kid you not.

[FrankO]

doesn’t one need to be rich to become a senator?

[FrankO]

I would trust Alvin far more than obummer.

[mad_as_he$$]

Man this is some funny stuff, don’t care who you are.
