. ♪ >> this week on "q&a," our guest is "the weekly standard" senior editor andrew ferguson. he talks about gop presidential candidates, his career, and his approach to writing. brian lamb: andrew ferguson of "the weekly standard." we call this our odds and ends with andrew. i want to go over some of the columns you have written and get your embellishment. let's start with showing an appearance of years, your first time on c-span in 1986. [video clip] andrew ferguson: the general point i was trying to make is that people seem to sort of assume the responsibility, journalists assume the responsibility to become experts in everything, in every manner of public debate and hold forth on them and i do not see that they have done much work, much research on the pieces that they do. i think that in magazines like "the spectator," you seldom see people popping off for the sake of popping off. brian lamb: that was 1986. andrew ferguson: looks like i had taken a quaalude or something. i remember i could smoke during the interview, that's how long ago it was. brian lamb: only: call-in show somebody ca

ferguson: a lot of them -- one thing i have noticed about this field, and i think it is different on the republican side than it was before. how many of them are pure politicians. that is, they really haven't done anything in their life since they started their campaign for hall monitor in seventh grade and have been running ever since. scott walker started out of college, marco rubio has never really had a job, jeb bush started really late but he had these business jobs that depended a lot on his celebrity. christie is a guy who was with the prosecutor's office and straight into elected office. their motives i suppose are slightly more suspect because this is the next rung on the ladder for these guys. this is their profession. to show that you are king of the hill you get to run for president, it is the next step. brian lamb: i want viewers to know that they can go to google, type in andrew ferguson, "new republic" -- "new republic," "the weekly standard." [laughter] andrew ferguson: not anymore. brian lamb: this is a column that you wrote earlier this year, 2015, about huckabee ch
