Just listining to Mary Hanafin on 2 radio shows the other evening,(drivetime and the right hook) and it struck me that she said almost the exact same thing to both of them and it got me thinking (she mentioned going from negative growth to level growth to both of them:confused:) Just exactly how much coaching and tuition…

Just exactly how much coaching and tuition do these guys get before going on air, and what form does it take. Is a script done for them and are they given any lattitude whatsoever for spontaneous thought. I suppose what I'm really saying is there any point whatsoever asking a politician a question as it seems impossible to get a straight answer, even poor old Vincent Brown seems unable to breach their kryptonite shells, and in general it seems to apply to all of them.
Also who wields the power, those who speak, or those who utter the words of others whoever they may be.
