In reply to the discussion: Sam Nunberg goes dark on Tuesday after his spectacular media meltdown [View all]The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,280 posts)14. His interviews reminded me of something that happened to a friend some years ago.
He had a lot going on in his life, and he became more and more intense in conversations. Eventually he started talking nonstop then took off in his car, had a fender-bender and ended up being arrested, babbling non-stop. He had to be hospitalized and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He's fine now, lives a very normal life and has a good, responsible job. But he has to take his meds. Nunberg's somewhat incoherent interviews and especially the compressed speech seemed a lot like that.

He kind of unraveled over a period of time, but IIRC it wasn't a very long time -

If she thought she smelled alcohol on his breath, she should not have put him on the air.

Normally I would agree with you. But these people have been lying through their teeth

Its not moral, in a human sense, but it is certainly ethical in a journalistic sense.

I don't think it was alcohol - he was hyper and his speech wasn't slurred.

It might depend on if the person answering the phone at his house had a Russian accent. n/t
