Indiana Dem candidate's slurred interview draws New York Post scrutiny

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAn interview with an Indiana Democratic candidate is drawing attention, after the New York Post described her as wide-eyed and slurring through a rambling, car-crash monologue.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe headline carries a quote from the interview, which says, this is not a skit.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe report does not specify what caused the slurring, so we won't speculate either.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI think we should wait for context. Maybe a long morning, maybe a bad microphone, maybe a dental appointment she was dreading.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEverybody has a day they would like to workshop.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA dental appointment.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a perfectly valid theory, Hank, and I refuse to let a microphone malfunction rewrite somebody's Tuesday.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI call it a misunderstanding with great lighting.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Post also reports that, during the monologue, it sounded as though someone on a mic had loudly farted. That is the exact wording, and it is the only audio detail I am reading.

10. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the most honest person in the room may have been the microphone.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe report does not say who it was.

12. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen I am giving the whole interview a nine, and the mic a standing ovation.
