I would if I was on the sound board and the right person asked or signalled. Legend among board ops is that Bill Clinton was twice cut. I have squelched a college president (at the request of the provost who then took a replacement mike up...and although only a few words were exchanged the tone changed for the rest of the speech). I also developed a technical problem when th wife of a distinquished US member of the House asked for him to be cut off/ He was going into a bit that may have been something that psychiatrists may have considered evidence of on-set dementia which was what was reported after his retirement. Oddly enough it was very much like how our current President sounds at times.

Well the Boy Scout leadership has sent a letter of apology.Regretfully it does not unring the bell.Worse is the press conference....when they could have made it clear that this was not what was intended. Instead it is a crowd cheering the President on. How many fights were there among the different scouts after or during this speech? This is not covered by the media on left or right...

I would comment on the press conference if comments were allowed here. Although i can say..."Sad. Just Sad."
