Gloria Kellum - Debate in Mississippi

Gloria Kellum is disappointed about the possibility of the presidential debate falling through.

The university says the price tag already sits at almost $5 million in preparing for the debate. But, more than that, "Think about the thousands of people who have traveled here for this, so it's not just the university. It's about lots of people involved in this," says Gloria Kellum, Chancellor of University Relations for Ole Miss.

Boo frickedy-hoo, miss Kellum. Our governing officials are about to spend close to $1 Trillion, and you're bummed that some people may have had their plans inconvenienced. Cry me a river.

Here's another thought from the genius mind of Gloria Kellum:

"The final details are unfolding," said university spokeswoman Gloria Kellum. "The majority of this is accommodating the media and meeting their needs for debate coverage."

This is very telling. The people being inconvenienced are the media and their needs for debate coverage.

Forget the taxpayers! Forget the economy! Forget the impact of economic disaster on the poor, the small businesses, etc. The NEWS REPORTERS might have to travel to D.C. for the news this weekend instead of Mississippi.

I seem to have misplaced my 'world's smallest violin', but when I find it, it will play a tune just for you, Gloria.
