Ron Paul shortchanged on debate
time again
Lew

Thursday January 31, 2008
LRC reader Joe Black clocked it:
Total time, in minutes and seconds, that Dr. Paul got to speak
tonight. Out of, roughly, 1 hour and 22 minutes of "debate."
Anderson Cooper cut Dr. Paul short twice.
Here is a break down of Dr. Paul's participation time:
Question 1 on the economy: 1:19 minutes
Question 4 on the environment: 0:41 minutes, because Anderson
cut him short and assured him "2 minutes, in 2 minutes we
have a question for you. I promise"
(Article continues below)
Question 5 on income tax rebates and "make work" schemes:
0:49 minutes
Question 11 on Sandra Day O'Conner: 0:09 minutes, I kid you not.
Cut short by Anderson
Question 15* on McCain's "100 years in Iraq" statement:
1:39 minutes (only question directly asked to Dr. Paul)
Question 18* on how X would handle the military as commander
in chief: 1:50 minutes
Question 19* on a Reagan endorsement: 0:46 minutes
* These question numbers are guesses because I lost track after
McCain and Romeny were playing slap ass with each other over the
Iraq war technicalities and time tables for withdrawal. That was,
of course, followed up by a
gem by Dr. Paul that made both those guys look like the idiots
they really are.
