Missed Con-Genealogy: Can't miss 2.0

Equal time and space: As in bringing you, as a public servant, yet another campaign classic...a "can't miss!" that apparently went either unnoticed or underappreciated by the other side of the aisle (see "What a bite" that erred here earlier today)...

Missed the bar, made the re-mark: The rumor mill has it that "Ms. Harris has passed on..." That she, after failing to miss the mark required to consider "passing" the California bar exam, did so on the ? attempt, the ? she left unanswered becoming her trade...mark. 

Multiple choice(s): After multiple attempts to force a choice, as in T/F failed to pin her down..."let me remind you I was a middle class kid, so..." forced the interviewer to reframe the options into A,B,C,D, all/none..."prefer not to answer" came into being as one more option, con-census...

"So, just who, are YOU?" Asked the caterpillar, a more open-ended invitation...which gets you, what was known in "Alice" as confounding but now known more simply as word salad, dressing..."Labels are just an invention of society, that I've never quite identified with...this color, that descent, as I make my ascent, to the Office of the first lady President, first one of color, first from an Asian region, pay no attention, you can call me what makes you, yourself comfortable, just don't call me to a press conference..."

Told you: Should have called upon me.

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
