"YOU FIRST!" -- "AFTER YOU MY DEAR ALPHONSE!" -- Just a Minute Radio for Monday 111107

Ever try to unravel a ball of twine that was not ‘done up’ correctly?  It’s a task!

 

We have a report on today’s JUST A MINUTE which tells a bit of a story that got a lot of pre air publicity but nobody could find it readily in the Internet… But there are clips we hear and *somebody*  must have aired them… but it was a fund raiser after all… and they got about a thousand folks in a ballroom to hear Herman and Newt.

 

The question arises out of “Newt’s” name. It’s Newton I understand – but you can go look it up in Wikipedia if you wish and get all the details they have.

 

The ‘debate’ Saturday night was – according to all the sources I can find – congenial, which it was supposed to be from the beginning. One or two clips on the Internet say that Herman Cain lost his patience with some members of the press afterwards – and I imagine it was from being badgered.  However… you’ll have to go further to check that out… I’m not running a gossip column here. (J)

 

I suppose it was a good change of pace as far as debates go. It is hard to get a good and extensive answer in about 30 seconds or a minute… and once you’ve heard a few of those ‘shortbread’ answers if you’re writing the fourth story on these debates after all you got to be looking for something else. Apparently two or three women-folk have decided to bring up ‘something else’ – and I make no judgments about that it’s far too complex for me to untangle.

 

So… if you’re reading this… you have access to the Internet as I do – and you can go poking around to find out what you wish.  I’ve got other things to look up and write about.  (J) But I still love you!

 

Once again…. The clock has passed the witching hour… I’m ready to hit the sack and turn in my copy… so… see you on Monday.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

“YOU FIRST!” – “AFTER YOU MY DEAR ALPHONSE!”

            Just a Minute:  The Cain-Gingrich ‘debate’ became a love-fest Saturday night according to about 1000 people who witnessed it in a Houston hotel ballroom. The mood was universally convivial with the ‘9-9-9’ budget set aside on Mr. Gingrich’s suggestion.  

          The set up was completely different from other ‘debates’. It was mostly un-moderated and I could find no available video-clips or transcripts of the two-hour exchange. I’m guessing it was an easier engagement than Mr. Cain will encounter Monday when the regular rules return and the sexual harassment pot continues to boil-over. Two or three – thus far anonymous women – are maintaining the story which may erupt Monday.

          No names had surfaced as this report was prepared.  One obscure opinion poll says Cain lost 5 percentage points on their first run – but it’s not a widely recognized poll. Whatever leaks or alleged facts show up the result will most likely hurt Mr. Cain’s campaign.

          As they say in the news business: -- This story has “legs” and won’t stop running right away. <> I’m Jack Buttram (END)
