2. I posted that question on the Constitution Society's blog
earlier. Still no answer. Nothing on Barr's website either.

4. I thought that they said he was on the satellite

and they had lost the feed.

8. Exactly right. I was watching at the time.
It's not that Barr is missing. He was on the video feed minutes before his segment was to go on. Then, the feed failed.

It was an awkward few minutes while no one was at the podium.

5. I believe his intro was off site, not in the theater
and Gore said the feed was there and all was fine until just before he was introduced. I remember wondering if the problem was accidental, or if another NSI maneuver was underway.

6. Big Brother was watching and censored his intro. Just kidding.

9. Remember during the primaries and election, when Kerry's/Dean'/Edwards
WHATEVER DEM was speaking would lose the signal. Or the audio. On the few occasions they even "carried" the speeches...

Same old sh*t...

10. It wasn't Barr's problem, he was there via satellite when they
began the program.

Some how, the satellite was messed up. Now I wonder who has the power to disrupt the satellite feds. :freak:

Of course, weather could have been an issue, but then again, who knows. :tinfoilhat:

13. It is weird
At the risk of sounding paranoid, I have to say that I have no doubt that the satellite disruption was done on purpose, but my big question is:

Where is Bob Barr now? And why isn't he giving any statements regarding Al's speech? A prominant Republican joining forces with Gore and speaking against Bush would be so much more credible. Come out into the open, Mr. Barr! Your country needs you!!!

They'll let him out after Dick gives him a Abu Ghraib attitude adjustment.

17. Wolfie interviewed Barr on the Situation Room today
(And Barr did a better job of giving our talking points than almost all the Dem talking heads have done over the last two years, IMNSHO... )
