Ron Paul may be "Dr. No" in terms of legislation, but when it comes to talking with people, he'll gladly accept an interview with Sasha Baron Cohen's "Bruno" -- or even take part in a mock debate with a Barack Obama impersonator.

Last night on the Fox Business show "Stossel," the conservative congressman handled himself swimmingly against a reasonable facsimile of the commander in chief, played by actor Reggie Brown, Wonkette reported.

"I believe in the power of a free market," Brown said in an acceptable impersonation of Obama. "But a free market was never meant as a free license to take whatever you can get," Brown said, echoing a line the president said almost exactly one year ago when he spoke to Wall Street.

"That's what caused the recent crisis and why we need more regulation," Brown concluded.

"Yes, we need more regulations," Paul, 74, agreed. "On the politicians and on the bureaucrats," he said to cheers from the studio audience.
