Gov. Brian Schweitzer: A True DC "Outsider"

On Friday, Democratic Governor Brian Schweitzer of Montana gave an interview on NPR's All Things Considered program. The topic: The Real ID cards that the federal government announced in January. Simply put, Schweitzer doesn't like the idea. That's actually an understatement- he hates it. Schweitzer sees the program as yet another unnessary attempt by the federal government to interfere with the lives of citizens. Here are some highlights from the interview:

• "Nearly every month they [the federal government] come out with another hare-brained scheme..."
• "We usually just play along for a while - we ignore them for as long as we can."
• "...we found that's it's best to just tell them to go to hell."
• "Thank God we live a long way's from Washington, DC."

Classic. We won't take that last comment too personally, though. To listen to the interview in its entirety, click here.
