(I heard the show. Lanny Davis was mind-bogglingly, hilariously awful. The funniest part was when Ashbrook asked him to jump in -- practically with an engraved invitation -- and Davis kept whining how he couldn't get a word in edgewise. It's at about 15:30 into the show. It's because he didn't actually have anything to say. The company you keep ... - promoted by Charley on the MTA)
I just listened to part of today's "On Point" on WBUR. The discussion was over whether Bill Clinton was too immersed in the missus' campaign. Lanny Davis, President Bill's former special counsel was part of the discussion - well, sort of part of the discussion. Instead of engaging in conversation, he just spewed forth obfuscation-points like a brain-injured parrot.
Davis sputtered out the litany of Clinton mendacities - Obama supporting Reagan, Obama not being against the Iraq war, etc. He was startling in his thuggishly lawyer-esque parsing of words, and angry/weird attacks on the other guests.
I can't recall that I've ever before heard host Tom Ashbrook get exasperated by the volume of BS pouring from a guest. Incredible.
The only thing that I can think of is that the Clintons figure they've already lost the NPR crowd, so they wanted to flip them the bird as a parting gift.
