The Gadfly On The Wall


Question: Who is funding House Speaker Lance Cargill's "100 Ideas Initiative?" No disclosure thus far. Lots asking. Question resonates with some Democrats because former State Rep. Thad Balkman, R-Norman, is the new initiative's executive director and he can't be paid with state funds. Private donors, we're told, are supporting this entity.
Bush Iraq Speech: The president was on his heels. Looked tired. Body language was negative. I've counseled speakers in the past that facial expressions, body language, tone of voice often are more important in public perception than the words spoken.
Fallin, Wilson On KTOK: Congresswoman Mary Fallin has a regular interview slot on KTOK's "Mullins In The Morning" show; 7:05 a.m. each Friday. Pollster/consultant Chris Wilson is a new regular Wednesday mornings at 7:35.
Boxer's Bolix: Blogosphere raging today over Senator Barbara Boxer's rude questioning of Secretary of State Condi Rice yesterday; Boxer said Rice won't pay a price for the war in Iraq because she is childless.
