Former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer has made it into the Oct. 16, 2014, issue of Playboy magazine.

Known for its provocative interviews, Playboy hits the free-association Schweitzer with some tough questions about Middle East policy, how a Montana Democrat differs from big-city Democrats, his international business experience, whether he inhaled and how genuine he is.

Writer Jeff Greenfield asks whether he’s still considering a presidential run, too.

Schweitzer does his part, bringing up the United States’ role in Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay and growing up in small Montana towns (Geyser and Raynesford), among other topics.

Schweitzer likens the 2016 presidential race to a horse race, right down to the metaphorical odds for each horse. Montanans would expect no less of their former leader who vetoed several bills during his tenure with a true-blue branding iron on the steps of the state Capitol and who took his faithful dog Jag to work every day.

All in all, the interview reflects the true Schweitzer: Speaking off the cuff, despite the fact that he claimed he “would never joke with a reporter again” after his controversial remarks about California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
