Awkward! Judge Napolitano Hypothetically Suggests Date With Former Sex Worker Guest

As a fierce libertarian, Judge Andrew Napolitano often takes positions that seem contrarian to the conservative and traditional points-of-view espoused by hosts of Fox News prime time shows. But now that he hosts his own show on the Fox Business Network, he can take the show in directions one might normally expect. Case in point: his recent interview with the former sex worker and published author of Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl Tracy Quan over the legalization of prostitution.

An interesting discussion about the role of Government with relation to citizens rights and legislating “morality” crosses over to a theater of absurd when Napolitano hypothetically asks his guest how it would be different if he were to buy her dinner before the two got intimate, or if he had simply paid her before and for getting intimate. Quan handles the potentially awkward question reasonably, but not before telling the host “what you are talking about usually requires a steak dinner” in a hamfisted metaphor about vegetarians wanting to outlaw carnivores.

To his credit, Napolitano is pretty fearless and dispassionate in this interview, even though its one of the more interesting and bizarre interviews we’ve seen on Fox Business.
