Dave Leip on C-SPAN!

[State Comptroller Atkins]

Well, his voice at least. Skip to around 1 hour, 38 minutes:

[Simfan34]

No picture? He's like friggen Mohammed. I bet he goes around with a flaming head too.

[For Oklahoma]

That's pretty cool haha

Thank god they didn't delve into the forums haha

[Governor Scott]

Haha, no one mentions the flipped colors.

[Senator Ben]

This is hilarious.  I love how nobody mentions the colors.  And he mentions the forum!  Rather awesome

[CathKhan]

Haha, this is awesome. He sounds like my uncle Ted. Wonder who he voted for...

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

I note they call him David.

And also this is awesome.

[ChairmanSanchez]

This is like the time when Emperor Hirohitho adressed Japan via radio for the first time.

[Mr. Morden]

Too bad we didn't know about this in advance, or one of us could have called into the show, to ask about adding Torie as a mod to Individual Politics.

[Senator Napoleon]

Does Torie even visit that board?

[Senator Ben]

The video was from 2004.

PiT, have you invented a time machine yet?

[Boris]

It took me like 20 seconds to find his home phone number if you feel like giving him a call.

[Mr. Morden]

The video was from 2004.

Given how slow Dave was to make mod changes in the past, putting the request in in 2004 would have been useful.

Don't give it to Phil, or he might start calling Dave to have him de-mod Inks!

Is he really not talking to you guys even though he's been pretty active in the last two weeks?

I've seen him posting lots of polls lately. Like a spooky ghost administrator

That's correct.  I think Nym first contacted him about making Torie a mod in late April or early May.  He never responded, after repeated attempts to get an answer from him.  He hasn't communicated with us about anything moderation-related since then either.  (The last moderator change before that was in March or something?  I guess that's the last time we've heard from him.)

He's obviously still posting polls, and commenting on things like 2012 endorsements, but as far as moderation goes, we're on our own.  Which means that we all apparently have lifetime appointments, since he's the only person who can make moderator changes.  (Though maybe when it's time to create a 2016 board, he'll realize that a decision needs to be made about who will moderate it.)

[Jayhawker]

We were on C-SPAN!!! Yes!!!

I'd guess this is comparable to "normal" kids getting on MTV. Sweet.

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

He pronounced his name wrong.  It's "Lee-ep", and everyone knows it!

[Keystone Phil]

Don't give it to Phil, or he might start calling Dave to have him de-mod Inks!

...what is this joke about? I don't know why people keep suggesting that I physically call people here to complain...

[Yelnoc]

He pronounced his name wrong.  It's "Lee-ep", and everyone knows it!

I've always pronounced it as Lipe (rhymes with gripe).

[For Oklahoma]

He pronounced his name wrong.  It's "Lee-ep", and everyone knows it!

I pronounce it as "Leap" as well.

     Nah, I still need to get the quantum flux capacitor working. They just don't make them like they used to.

     I've always pronounced it "Leap", though it looks German by its spelling, in which case I believe that your way would be correct.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

So this confirms that he does have "political views" and he says he was going to make them known publicly after that ('04) election...

[Senator Snowstalker]

Isn't he basically a moderate hero?

[shua]

for some reason I can't fastforward the CSPAN videos

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

More evidence that we're all in purgatory, and Dave Leip is the devil.
