Did any of you notice how lightning caused microphone to mute when
Rudolph Giuliani was speaking in one of those debates? I watched it
on CNN. Must have been one of those wireless mics.


- Do you have any idea how many politicians were
- choked to death by microphone cords, before the
- wireless microphone was developed?


FYI - The Politician John 'ff' Kerry did not Die from being
"Choked" to his Death by a Wild Microphone Cord . . .

Wireless microphones have been around for a long time. You have to
go back to the early day s of radio and electronics to find corded
microphones. The ones you see on debates are dummy microphones, with
the cords cut off for safety reasons. ;-)
