talk of the nation - Gary Hart gets no respect
Listed to TOTN again today - I can't help myself, although does anyone else find Neal Conan to be a less than ideal host? In fact, I think he's often downright rude, such as today when he brought up the Donna Rice thing to Gary Hart as a final question before he left the program. Come on, isn't it bad enough that a man who is extremely bright and capable (and probably would have made a great president) was brought down by a personal indiscretion? Why bring it up again, so many years later? As Mr. Hart pointed out, he has been married for 47 years. If his wife forgave him, what business does anybody have bringing up to him? Grrr....
Audio here. Click on "presidential ambition". The Gary Hart part of the interview is about 15 -20 minutes into it.
