Mary Leigh Blecch is still smarting from her last debate (with John Lott). So, Frau Direktor is sending her husband to debate in her place. After all, he is a lawyer and therefore knows some big words. I suspect that they are resorting to the old "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh!t" ploy. Sadly, it works for them, at least enough to keep the breath of life in the organization.
Wait a minute, nobody said anything about big words! </ sarcasm> LOL
