Turn left in Bushland

Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds decided to turn the tables on his RTE Prime Time interviewers (due to air tomorrow night) and conduct his own interview (with Mrs Instapundit) of Mark Little and Ken O'Shea at a restaurant in Knoxville. The soundfile is here. For the most part it's a fairly standard interchange of the quite different political perspectives one would expect, as the RTE lads stayed politely sk(c)eptical about the War on Terror. Unfortunately, the perils of impromptu interviewing meant that Instapundit's memory drive got full just as Mark Little was on to an interesting rumination about the incomptability of Irish and immigrant Muslim culture.

Reynolds makes his most perceptive comment in his roundup at the end, noting that in a political environment described as having "no ideological battles" (as Irish politics had been described to him), it just means that one ideology has won but doesn't realise that there are still others out there. Anyway, worth a listen, especially for anyone who does watch the Prime Time counterpart.
