Someone on Hardball made an interesting suggestion regarding Cain's lawyer.

[Ilsa]

They said that the lawyer is normally very aggressive towards the media, threatening them for defaming his clients, etc. He defended Richard Jewel after the Olympics bombing in Atlanta, and others. The pundit on Hardball said the mouthpiece was more subdued than they had ever seen him in a media appearance.

At least, that was what I took from it. Did anyone else hear this?

2. The media was also subdued. They did not ask him anything.

What the hell?

And, as Lawrence O'Donnell put: he was the first presidential candidate who had a press conference with his criminal defense attorney! Funny Stuff.

3. There were not very many questions asked at the press conference - and ....

at least two of the questions were asked by Fox reporters
one said he was from Fox and the other one said he was from a Fox affiliate.

I didn't catch where the others were from.

I think the reporters must have been hand picked beforehand.
