I don't care in fairness they weren't. Everyone did a great -- just kids works so hard. Every team but last week it was packed -- that Carmen let me just say that courtrooms need to be larger. Because there because there there was so many people at this -- speak between preps people and Abington. You there -- and then opened the back doors and the federal courthouse of people are standing out in the -- was complete standing room only there's just not enough room. No folding chairs nothing else sent up just the dead benches that they have to people to set. And we'll normally that's I know it's just wallet mean banana was packed. Yeah I think ahead there I think so but it was done was fabulous to denigrate jab.
And done. And we were talking about the fact we were sitting here before staring at walls. About the fact that. Stuff like that never makes it to the third page now this Paper we don't hear about the academic achievements as much as we do about -- sports like sometimes such -- and so I think said and done. The news media needs to -- wake up and say hey. You know something like this deserves to be on the third. Towards it should just -- covered period because I'll bet it is an academic and act and.
Accomplishment in these kids learn and they. And as an album actually -- Margie I judge -- nanny -- was do you presiding and she was saying that she never did this stuff until she was -- second year in law school. Because it didn't happen years ago.

Can't say that's way too much event and now and then it makes me think of the other event.

Ice caused by -- very -- the programming was really really good yes really was it was very good. I know why and there's some listening over there. There he -- well I mean. It's not me in the it was all of it's the chamber does it Mari disagreed -- with having them all organize Caroline -- she's and I co chaired -- this year and you gotta keep things in QTE do I think when you governorship the limited time people who dared to network and listen and learn something. And keep it yet entertaining and move -- but it's all about the speakers. You can bring whatever you want him but if you have good speakers that makes sense. Whole series works so that that was good so we're happy about that tomorrow is the uncommon for the cure pink -- on parade.

And we do keep a couple extra seats but. And it's not I mean the point is that we do it that's a great time and it's brace is great money for the common foundation. Or komen for the cure.
All right. You and I talked last week. Fox fair and about an article we both read that we thought was really quite. Interesting I guess is the only where I come up with Bob May brand February 4 and threw me. -- Associated Press I guess it was and originally printed in the New York Times. -- columnist Maureen Dowd -- home less true. Write about politics. In this country and -- is addition. Man truly gifted. And I've never quite been able to figure out what I wanna say about Callista Gingrich. There was something. About her that I just could not quite put into words. And it was. Disconcerting to me up. Of course she was. Because I couldn't quite figure out the cool is this mystery woman she never never speaks. She's never done anything other than. What I said my own words were Barbie doll. That just seemed to be -- it around and always was onstage behind the man. -- dynamic and yes -- clay but we never heard from her we don't even know what she felt like we don't know that she can speak. Well Maureen Dowd kind of put it in the context and both. Lori and I read this and we both fantastic response. But. Maureen -- decided that she was going then -- these transformational. Wife. And there are certain Republican strategist who. As a kind of defines it end and he says this she's the wife who makes the candidate. Think she's destiny's gift to mankind. But born to greater things. And and then it's loud trophy wife is admired by her man the admiring eyes of a transformational. Life. Are they are to propel her man to the next level and when a woman who wants to be a transformational wife. Emerges. With a man who calls himself a transformational. Figure. You can expect. A narcissistic. The last of the.
love it isn't it great and oh my gosh there I will I love the reference to her hair which. It's the thing that always gets me. She called it hurt characters.
Just a wonderful word. It is really detonating you can learn a whole new lexicon -- we only heard it's great columns every week he's sentenced to seize the -- says and in describing her. I think comparing her to -- and Romney admits life. That and Romney often introduces her husband -- warmly about his eggs -- serious preferred shoes and then disappears onstage. While he talks but the 45 year old Calista. Has created an entirely new model first stop was standing mute and her primary colors suits and triple strand -- Looking at the 68 year old nude for the whole event her platinum characters inclined. Deferential -- towards his shaggy gray Maine. -- says it's great writing I love it I love it it's really good stuff can. So I guess her.
And I guess that's what we do is human suite we look at people and then form opinions just based on how people look. Well we do we do that now actually but I now let's Centex is speaking when one -- when you need someone or at least when -- speaker talk. It may -- I know but we don't know exactly -- you can do is a look at her and saying what is shake. Yeah -- restaurant we we don't have to just look at him and think what is hey we are now we know it was idiots like that we.
Always -- go and and until it you know I didn't understand this but. One of -- the evangelical leaders. In Texas a couple weeks ago a guy named James Dobson. Questions whether Calista and then he defined her as a mistress for eight years -- as he put it would make a good First Lady. And then she says. One indignant woman I interviewed at a church in Columbia, South Carolina -- it was speaking. Her around. That Calista was his Barbie so I guess I was summoned I was on the right track. Trade in Tiffany diamonds. -- is the embodiment. Of the divide between Gingrich's public piety. And project immorality. Great words. So we had to bring out so we can.
And they would say yeah you're right you know I think that people make former opinions but generally speaking when you have an opportunity to get to know people. They may change they may not they maybe they may be cemented for life and that goes back to the people would people think about. Candidates' wives and I -- part of I am the package except what it is and will -- in that and and you don't knowledge some people don't like because wide search. Forming good opinions and -- to have their own personality and will they -- and then you have someone who doesn't. Because is the wife really that. You know. Part of that is the -- and they are well at times they are I think mr. Obama's probably somebody who's more. More active more vibrant. At that and many other first ladies. And yes she was a part of the package Sweden have to know her before we elected Barack Obama but I think. Okay so. We're gonna go to break now and we're gonna sign off. Ford today. Was in this vicious stay but we'll be back next week so have a good night everybody be safe be happy.
