3. Either the person on the other end of the ear piece or ...

the voices in his head, who were actually making sense for once. ;)

4. So did I.

The friggin light was green. And he goes let me finish (Karl) out of no where !

[ogradda]

5. i heard about that

did any one ever figure out who the hell he was talking to?

6. The voices in his head. Literally.

7. Was that bizarre moment ever discussed--either in print, or on blogs?

I mean, I know there was a wealth of bizarre moments, a veritable bazaar of bizarre moments, but--did anyone ever offer a possible explanation for it?

[Nay]

9. I saw just one reference to it -- Sidney Blumenthal in the Guardian

on Oct. 2, but he just said, "With no one interrupting him, he protested, "Let me finish" - a phrase he occasionally deployes to great effect fegore the cowed White House press corps."

He may have drifted into using it whenever he himself is confused.

11. that's what I figured. When he feels beleaguered, it's a spontaneous

thing he says, divorced from any meaning.

My sister, whenever you ask her a question that is going to put her on the spot, always says a long, drawn-out "hmmmmmmmmmm?" As if she hadn't heard what you said. It gives her time to think while you are repeating the question.
