Funny comment from Les Miles

I lifted this from Kyle Veazey's excellent blog over at the Jackson Clarion-Ledger's website.

Here is the section I enjoyed:

The final question posed to Miles today was whether he approved of the government's multi-billion dollar bailout of the financial industry.

No, really, it was. I kid you not. I can only hope, and I do surmise, given the laughter I heard in the room, that there's an inside joke here that we out-of-staters are missing.

But, Miles answered. "I turn most of those matters over to my wife, to be honest with you," he said. "I think there's some real concern about our national issues and making sure that our country continues to grow and thrive. I don't think anybody's paycheck absolves them from interest and want for the best of our country. I'm a free market guy, always have been, not irrespective of paycheck. I've always felt like the government should be less involved, and this may be the exception."

I really like that guy.
