Jimmy McMillan's strange, madcap interview

June 07, 2011|By Luke Broadwater

Jimmy McMillan, who became somewhat famous as a candidate running for New York City mayor on a platform of "The Rent Is Too Damn High," is now running for president on a new platform: "Gasonline Is Too Damn High." 

McMillan sat down with New York-based comedian Jena Friedman (who posted the interview recently to YouTube) for what has to be one of the strangest conversations I've ever seen. 

In it, McMillan runs through a series of topics including his criticism of men who "throw babies down the toilet," the dating section of his website, why pregnant women look like "wolfman" and, somewhat touchingly, true love. 

"If you say you love, you love," McMillan says.
