Meeting of the Mouths - October 1, 2005
October 1, 2005 – WSB hosted a potpourri of talk show entertainment last Saturday at the Cobb County Civic Center. The 90 minute forum started at 10:30 AM and drew a crowd so large that parking spilled over to the Lockheed Credit Union and the ballfields.
The show featured legal expert John Carlson, Hollis Gillespie of Creative Loafing, consumer advocate Clark Howard, talk show hosts Neal Bortz and Sean Hannity, CNN’s James Carville and Neal Cavuto of Fox News.
Gillespie and Carville worked the issues from the left, Sean Hannity from right, and Neal Bortz stirred the pot with his Libertarian viewpoint.
Carville was especially entertaining as he relished wearing the black hat like some WWF bad boy. He continually taunted the largely conservative crowd by declaring Bill Clinton “The Best President Ever!”. I found myself laughing most of the time as he and Bortz and Hannity traded barbs while still managing to cover relevant political topics.
The audience was treated to photo ops and book signings after the show. This was part of a nation wide tour to encourage political discussion.
