here is deputy editor of "gq," michael hainey. good morning. >> good morning. being the operative word. >> oh, no! >> it's a media question. >> the popsicle, are you kidding me? what's wrong with you? >> what's more american than a popsicle? >> wasn't that a bomb pop? >> a rocket pop. >> look, you're in here. a picture of you, willie. >> let's talk about the veep process. you had a writer who subjected himself to this for the article. >> we had him do what an ordinary citizen never does. we had him vetted by the people who vetted sarah palin, not necessarily the best people to have vet you but it was just sort of what you do if you're an ordinary guy and the sort of process you have to go through, which is evan bayh, former indiana senator said it's basically like getting a colo colonoscopy except they're using the hubbell telescope. >> oh! >> what did they do? >> that dating history, everything you did in college that, woman that cleaned your house, did you give them a 1099 form? they talked to his ex-girl friends and stuff. it's an amazing process. it's in th

. >> jason zengerle is a contributing editor at "gq" magazine." latest issue and he joins us at the table this morning. hello. >> how are you? >> i was fascinated, because this was the description that evan bye says, it's like having a colonoscopy, except they use a hubble telescope on you, and i just thought, yikes! does it hurt? >> it was uncomfortable, put it that way. they ask for everything from your college records, transfers and s.a.t. scores and that's uncomfortable. where it's really uncomfortable is the personal questions. >> like? >> have you always been faithful to your wife? >> yes. even though i could answer all the questions comfortably, it was still uncomfortably answering them. have you ever paid for sex? are there any sex tapes? >> and the answer was? >> no, no, and no, no. >> and do you think people told the truth on all these questionnaires? >> i think it's built on a good-faith assumption that you're going to tell the truth, because i think the belief is that the truth will eventually come out, and the campaign do this vettin

the reason i ask you, when i first interviewed you for "gq" magazine you were just heading over the precipice were quite sort of excited about it all. you seemed very unfazed. it was your moment, your time. has cynicism crept in a little bit? have you become, you know, a little less excited about the whole nature of fame and celebrity? >> yes, i remember that interview very distinctly, piers. for me, it was something of a baptism of fire. my first skirmish with one of the first journalists of popular culture. it was you who tricked me into doing a number for how many women i slept with. i was at that point infatuated with fame. thought it would solve all my inner problems. now having been famous for a while, i recognize there are benefits to it. but there are detrimental aspects to it as well. i don't think -- i think celebrity and fame and glamour, they're literally about artifice. they're literally pointless. there's no value to them. i mean, when you think sort of like the first people that term famous would have been applied to, it would have been, relatively modern sense, great figures l

don't worry i find out in an article in "gq" that president obama might rethink his stance.ording to ongoing discussions with obama aides and associates if the president wins a second term he plans to attack another war, the four decades of the drug war. it doesn't say how he's going tackle it, so you don't know if he's going to be more in favor of legalizing or actually even harsher than the war on drugs. why are they doing this? this is obviously a leak to a friendly reporter saying why don't you put the word there yeah for young voters, we're going to soften our stance but don't say we're going to soften the stance because that might cost our voters who are afraid to say that. write a vague article about how we're going to change but not tell people what we're going to change to. it worked in 2008. if you expect he gets better on this issue i wouldn't hold your breath if i was you. to get a sense of how disaster disastrous this war has been. it has cost 1 trillion-dollar. if you think we're going win the war on drugs raise your hand. no we threw 1 trillion-dollar in the g

. >> if you were in -- i have a "gq" cover to show you. it asked a great question. is jeff daniels the next cary grant? there it is. >> that's a great question. >> to which the answer was -- >> no. no, i believe, correct me if i am wrong, there was only one cary grant. i think woody had said it. woody had kind of mentioned there are elements of what he does in "purple roads of cairo" that are of that kind of cary grant way of acting. >> you had a great line about it actually. i was aware i don't have the looks for that movie star thing and when you have the camera on, it sucks the lynnes and loves me. whatever career i have is because i'm an actor and good actor. >> yeah. i'll stand by that. >> i actually think he's the new spencer tracy. that's who -- any time i write something and it comes time to cast it and you sit around with 3 casting director to talk about who you're looking for, i always ask if spencer tracy is available. he never is and then we try to fulfill the role. it's impossible to find jeff daniels in hollywood. there's only one. he's the only person

it is on "gq" or on stands if you buy the cover with kate upton on the cover.m going to start getting high in the second term. >> john: exactly. it will open the floodgates. >> 48 years of surviving will go down the drain. >> john: we're almost out of time. dawn has been on hold for 48 minutes. dawn, what is your point. >> caller: hi. >> john: good morning. >> caller: good morning. i'm so sick and tired of everyone saying that private he can sit not a bad thing and romny is a good person. he's not a good person. all he does is lie. he's done terrible things to people. >> john: specific? >> caller: money. he's taken people's jobs and their pensions so he could have a lot of money. that's wrong. that's not morally right to do to people. so you can have it all. it is wrong. that's what the whole republican party is for. >> john: i completely agree. i thank you for the call. she's right. it is easy to say mitt romney, if i could be that stiff, i would work in gay porn. he looks like the bastard child of satan and guy smiley. easy to say unkind things about him. he'

so we were full-time students, we launched out of our apartment and we ended up getting featured in gqre staying up all night answering e-mails and phone calls. trying to make sure we graduated from business school at the same time. >> what's happening today in style and fashion end of glasses? >> i think glasses are having a fashion moment where people really are recognizing that they are a powerful form of self-expression. it's one of the only things you wear on your face and the type of glasses say who you are as a person. >> what do your glasses say about you, that you're wearing? please explain. >> all our glasses right now are acetate frames which are a little bit bolder and really -- >> won't admit it. but he uses this color to bring out his eyes. >> that is what i was thinking. that is what i was thinking. it is. >> take somebody like steve jobs. he was almost defined by those glasses were efficient, simple basic. the design obviously appealed to him. >> right. we wanted to make glasses affordable so people could own more than one pair. right now people in the u.s. tend to buy

. >> you're a contributing editor for "gq" magazine. part of the team that looked into sarah palin.ce like? this is very invasive process. they ask you everything, they want your tax records. they ask you questions about your religious beliefs. a lot of questions about your sex life. have you been faithful to your life, have you paid for sex. do you have any history of sado-maschism. >> senator bye likened to it a colon scopy with the hubbell telescope. >> how long did the questioning go on? >> you know, i should be clear. i definitely got a junior varsity version. for one thing i'm not a politician. when they are vetting these real politicians they're spending a lot of time looking at their issue records, their speeches, things like that, whether they would be compatible with the top person on the ticket. in terms of me, we basically did all the soft stuff. it lasted for three weeks. i don't think ted frank was working on this constantly. but about a three or four week process from the beginning i got a questionnaire which i filled out to the various interviews to the investigators
