I can remember the night before the 1992 elections when Barbara Bush was on the Larry King Live show and she made the comment, which sounded sincere, that she couldn't understand why they were wasting time holding the election as it was going to be no-brainer that her husband was going to beat Bill Clinton by a landslide. What was really amazing was how shocked and incredulous she was when Larry started to take calls as they were almost all expressing support for Clinton and/or complaining about the policies of the last 12 years of Reagan/Bush. She was completely taken aback, like she had been living in a bubble somewhere.

New audio: NC governor struck serious tone on suspending congressional elections

Published: 11:26 AM 09/28/2011

By Matthew Boyle - The Daily Caller

If it was a joke, North Carolina Democratic Governor Bev Perdue needs to polish her delivery.

Newly released audio contradicts the claims of Perdue’s press team that her call Tuesday for suspending Congressional election was a joke or hyperbole. In the recording, her tone is matter-of-fact and her comments are part of a serious speech.

“Listen to the Governor’s words: She wasn’t joking at all,” North Carolina GOP spokesman Rob Lockwood told The Daily Caller. 

“The congressional Democrats are wildly unpopular in North Carolina, so she may have been trying to invent a solution to save their jobs from public accountability.”

“If it was a joke, what was the set-up?,” Lockwood adds. “What was the punch-line? Where was the pause for laughter? It took them three hours to say it was a ‘joke,’ but when that flopped it became ‘hyperbole.’ We’ll just call it an unconstitutionally bad idea.”
