Chapter 302: Just Front
Edward kept humming "If youre going to San Francisco."
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people thereβ
provoked the aunt next door to roll his eyes, he knew that he was at a loss, and hurriedly asked the stewardess for two martinis and handed one to the other party, which was regarded as making amends.
He knew that he was incomplete in five tones, his singing was ugly, and humming in the sealed cabin was no less bad than watching it on the high-speed train in his previous life......
However, this aunt misunderstood what he meant, and became more and more enthusiastic about him after two glasses of wine, which reminded him of Irma back then, but Irma was at the age of maturity at that time, and she was sultry, and he also needed to lose fire, so the two hooked up and became adulterous.
At the moment, this aunt is not ugly, and she can even be said to be a senior beauty...... Senior means...... Teeth are starting to fall out......
Edward was too frightened to speak, and the rest of the journey was just pretending to be asleep, not even eating his favorite plane meal......
β¦β¦
The debate was lively, the venue was set up in a large opera house, which had perfect sound equipment to ensure that everyone could hear clearly, and it also represented the aesthetic of the middle class, and the opera house was more decent than a cinema or funk ballroom.
For organizing this kind of debate, the people of the United States can be said to be very proficient.
The furnishings on the field are simple, one on the left and one on the right, two standing podiums, and the middle is the host's seat.
This is a typical layout of the presidential debate venue, and it is also a battlefield that is recognized as a heads-up battleground.
The moderator is an old acquaintance of everyone, Mike Wallace, who has personal friends with both sides of the debate, and it is only fitting that he can be the moderator.
In order to avoid repeating the mistake of being mistaken for a superstar last time, Edward did not dare to mess with his own temperament this time, and listened to the advice of professionals in his clothes and even makeup - Meghan and Yelena are experts in this area.
Of course, the two of them were at home when they gave him clothing advice...... Well, how to put it, in order to achieve the best matching effect, they ask someone to strip all naked, and then, one by one, compare and compare, compare...... Edward's waist is still a little sore.
Finally, the two heroines knew the priorities, and let him go first, but the account had to be remembered, and after the big victory, they would repay it, and in the face of the Hades account of nine in and thirteen out, Edward closed his eyes in pain and pressed his handprint on the IOU in humiliation.
Megan is cheap and still doesn't sell it: "Aha? I think you seem to be very unhappy? Elena and I provided you with such a professional photogenic matching service, you didn't even say thank you, okay, I'll transfer the IOU to Aunt Mayweather in a moment......"
Someone was so frightened that he jumped up, hugged his four thighs, begged for mercy, and paid off part of the debt on the spot, but the two women did not make any bookkeeping changes very tacitly......
Hard work pays off.
Today he was dressed quite modestly, in a suit, similar to when he appeared in court, but not in a solid three-piece suit, but in a beige and coffee plaid jacket, and a wool vest of the same color in addition to a shirt with a different collar, full of academic bookishness, and also highlighted his strengths - young, handsome (barely).
The makeup on his face was applied by Megan and Elena herself, and when they bent to paint him eyeliner, Edward quietly stuck out his tongue to explore each other's career lines, resulting in a shake of his hands, and the appearance of the academy elite changed to the style of the Egyptian pharaoh...... You can only erase it and start over.
β¦β¦
At this moment he looked at the other side.
William Buckley Jr., the master of Republican ideology.
It was the first time he had seen the man up close.
He was also young, with a broad face, pale blonde hair, pale green eyes, a slightly lower nose bridge than the Caucasian races, a small nose bridge, and thin and slender lips.
It should be said that this is a good-looking white man, but Edward feels uncomfortable for no reason, no, that's nervous! It's uneasy!
Aware of his psychological condition, Edward was taken aback.
Now he is no longer the hairy young man he was in the Dami case, and the two years of training have allowed him to completely integrate into this world, and at the same time, he has also seen enough high-level people.
Even in the U.S. Supreme Court, when he is discussing the bear game with Earl Warren, he can still scold the other party for being in the advanced stage of Alzheimer's disease and not feel the slightest fear of it, or he can talk and laugh with a federal appellate judge like Wilford and treat the other party like a dog in court (if necessary).
The Yale career directly raised the starting point of his life, and the professors in the school who got along with each other day and night could throw away their books at any time and become ministerial-level officials, such as Robert Burke, Edward even fought with him in class about the trust issue, without any pressure, and he is now the deputy secretary of justice.
is really like what is said in "The Siege of the City": "In the past, the way of the university was to govern the country and level the world, and now the way to govern the country and the world is in the way of the university, and it is a smooth road." For the first category, the university is a chair for rest; For the second type, it was a cradle of cultivation - as long as he was careful not to sway to sleep. β
Edward has seen countless high-level elites in the cradle of Yale, and there is no so-called psychological pressure at all, and these people rarely have the routine of releasing countless kings with a shock of the tiger's body, usually most of them are amiable, and a few are eccentric.
William Buckley Jr. looks like Sven, so theoretically he shouldn't put so much pressure on himself.
He was staring into the abyss, and the abyss was staring at this young but (poorly) well-known opponent.
"I see," Edward figured out," the guy's eyes ............ Yes, this is what makes me the most uncomfortable, this guy is really different from ordinary people...... Talent"
William Buckley Jr. has beautiful eyes, with large and typical Caucasian eyelids, clear pale green eyes, and pupils suspended in them.
But these eyes lacked human taste, and even made Edward feel that if the eyeballs were removed on the spot and replaced with two glass balls, it would not have any effect on the person's temperament and demeanor.
Continuing to think about it from this perspective, Edward found that the reason why William Buckley Jr.'s handsome appearance did not impress people was that his face resembled that of a white-skinned, bearded leopard, full of danger and pride of an apex predator.
Hehe, this is the American political elite...... Earl Warren is an old madman, but the old madman's eyes are very flexible, and there is some compassion and thinking about the future of the country, so he can feel what Russell called "the desire for love, the pursuit of knowledge, and the unstoppable sympathy for human suffering, these three simple but strong feelings have dominated my life." βThis ...... in front of you Fuck yourself out of Madame Tussauds......
Today's live audience is not much, full of 1200, it's not that the tickets can't be sold, but the opera house can only accommodate these, but fortunately, it is a live broadcast, which makes the content director of CNBS extremely happy, and it is estimated that he can accidentally set a time period ratings record.
"Welcome, both of you, although you definitely know each other, but according to etiquette, I still have to give you an introduction" Wallace started the show gracefully, "After all, I don't want Edward to talk about the need for the government to strengthen censorship like last time, and William, he is denouncing the harm caused by censorship!" β
This caused the audience to burst into laughter, and the two on the stage couldn't help laughing, the "60 Minutes" show was so wonderful that Wallace himself said that if Chuck could perform like this in every episode, then he would probably have to do it like that white-bearded old man in Kentucky......
"This is William Buckley Jr., our star of conservatism, the greatest conservative thinker since Burke"
"Here's Edward Young, a promising lawyer who has gone through the process from the grassroots courts to the Supreme Court, and the young man who has given Justice Earl Warren a headache!"
After Wallace's introduction, he took a step back and motioned for the two sides to exchange a few words.
"Hey, nice to meet you! Harry Remus of New Haven! William Barkley Jr. said with a smile on his face.
Edward frowned, if in private, it was said to be affectionate, but on an occasion like today, associating his opponent with a star can only show that the other party is using off-the-board tricks, coming up to suppress the opponent's arrogance first, and then setting up a wrong first impression on the audience that Edward = Harry Remes.
Considering that most of the audience at the scene and even watching the live broadcast today are middle-class and even upper-class figures, of course, these people also watch "Deep Throat", but they must be contemptuous of Harry Remus, although they are likely to privately invite "Harry who recovers" into their bedroom, and the three of them discuss some new ways to play together, but on the surface they are determined to draw a line......
Edward glanced at Mike Wallace, who spat him Nunu, meaning, I know this thing is playing yin, but I can't make a move, so you can only rely on yourself.
"Hehe, it's really unexpectedly intense...... Then don't blame me for being rude......"
Edward smiled and said, "This is how the greatest men of our time welcome their opponents."
He chose to go back directly, the country is good, and he is not happy to be scolded in person, but the masses are not only annoyed, but especially appreciate this trait - think that this is a manifestation of straightforwardness and bravery.
"It seems that Edward, you don't seem to be used to this way, then I can apologize" William Buckley Jr. politely.
"No, it's not that I'm not used to it, or if you want to apologize, it's because you realize that what you just said is rude to say in public."
Edward threw the words back coldly, William Barkley Jr. looked very high, but in fact he was humiliating Edward, his tone seemed to tell the audience "Look, this kid can't stand it, I have to worry about his thoughts, after all, I am an elder".
This is tantamount to invisibly exalting his status, and putting Edward in a low place, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign elders are respected, regardless of whether they can pass on life experience or not......
This is a very insidious approach to live debates, and the slightest mistake can lead to tricks.
Cute someone is through the era of the Internet tearing b this kind of trick is really pediatric, if it weren't for the fact that many of the most beautiful Chinese words couldn't be translated for a while, he even considered directly Zu An to the other party...... Well, just think about it, a serious TV debate, not a game with Flicker and scolding the streets......
Edward shrugged, "If you think what you just said is in line with etiquette, then you don't have to apologize......
Seeing that the other party was expressionless, Edward continued: "Mr. Barkley is also a Yale graduate, and I heard that you often call yourself a New Haven...... I also heard that you have a beautiful daughter."
In an instant, the other party's color changed, and he was about to interrupt when he opened his mouth.
But how could Edward give him this opportunity" Hello to your daughter, Linda Laflaise of New Haven, for me! β
As soon as this remark came out, the scene was in an uproar!
Barkley compared Edward to Harry Remus, during which the contemptuous intentions can be seen by blind people, and then the fake apology is also another way to suppress, usually in the face of such routines, many people can only consider themselves unlucky, after all, they can't grasp the handle, and they can't think of any good way to fight back in a hurry, so they lose most of the momentum first.
Edward was good, not only on the front of the anus, but also took the initiative to expand the war to the other party's hinterland.
Greeting family members is the only way to tear up victory, enough to cross the limitations of time and space, I wonder if one day human beings will also use this hand when they come into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations......
Sure enough, the other party immediately refused: "Mr. Yang, please take back what you just said!" β
"Why?" Edward spread his hands "You started first, and I gave you a chance, you didn't cherish ......"
"Mike!" Barkley tried to get Wallace justice.
Wallace began to wipe his sweat, he knew that this was not easy today, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, and the anger of both sides rose in three sentences.
Can......
Edward was right...... It was William Barkley Jr. who first led people down the three ways in a joking way, and the other party just fought back, of course, the gentleman should not affect the other party's family......
Wallace also knew that the bunny cub was definitely not a gentleman, but a pervert.
Of course he could say "Ed, you shouldn't talk about William's daughter, that's etiquette," but Wallace knew that the kid was going to throw the phrase "So it's etiquette to call an opponent a star?" β
It's just that how to play this round?
Edward relieved him, he pointed at William Barkley Jr., and shouted to the audience, "Hey, look, he's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!" He's in a hurry! β
A look of radiance!
This is a rotten routine used in online quarrels, but it can be used to show that it is effective!
Buckley's face turned the color of pork liver!
There are a lot of tricks in the debate in the United States, but I haven't seen this kind of either!
"God, I love you, Ed!" A rough voice came.
Edward turned his head to look down the stage, only to see a lewd Humpty Dumpty man in a jacket holding two pieces of A4 paper with the words i Ed written on them......
Larry Flint, this guy sneaked into the venue.
But it's not surprising to think about it, for a billionaire, it's too easy to get a front-row ticket, and it's not good that CNBS quietly sends tickets for the on-site effect......
Soon a security guard politely invited Flint to sit down, and by the way, took the paper in his hand.
Wallace breathed quietly, Edward's action just now was a foul, which can be pointed out.
"Edward, I want to remind you ......"
"Ok ok, I understand," Edward was frank, "So, I'm on par with the other side?" So let's get down to business......"
Wallace looked at Barkley, who nodded helplessly.
What else can you do but nod your head?
The two apologized to each other and bowed? The debate looked like it was going to turn to judo.
"Hehe, rip off your sister, my father-in-law......" The vicious ethics in someone's heart resurfaced, after all, child marriage is not illegal in the New World, let alone copper smelting......
As the old saying goes, hooligans are like springs, and if you are weak, you are strong, and direct anal (on the premise of protecting yourself) is usually the most effective solution, and the United States has always believed in this regulation...... Of course, this is also inseparable from martial arts policies such as gun carrying orders.
