XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX FRI JULY 30, 2004 19:25:37 ET XXXXX MISCHER DEEPLY SORRY FOR BALLOON RAGE The producer of the Democratic National Convention in Boston "deeply apologized" on Friday for his exasperated, profanity-laced tirade which on worldwide TV just as Kerry ended his acceptance speech. "I feel terrible about it, and I deeply apologize to anyone I might have offended," Hollywood heavy Don Mischer tells Saturday's LOS ANGELES TIMES. CNN said it had received permission from Mischer to air audio from the control room from time to time to provide behind-the-scenes flavor. But Mischer said he had no idea his control-room comments were being broadcast at the time. Mischer explains how his microphone had a switch allowing him to update the networks and media, including CNN, about schedule changes -- but that the switch was "unequivocally" in the off position during the balloon drop! "Jesus! We need more balloons. I want all balloons to go, goddammit... What the f**k are you guys doing up there? We want more balloons coming down, more balloons. More balloons. More balloons," Mischer said over the air on CNN during Kerry's climax. ----------------------------------------------------------- Filed By Matt Drudge Reports are moved when circumstances warrant http://www.drudgereportArchives.com for updates (c)DRUDGE REPORT 2004 Not for reproduction without permission of the author |
