Live Interview Gets Immediately Awkward When NPR Host Reacts to Dem Presidential Candidate Being Late

NPR host Diane Rehm didn’t hide her frustration with Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley when he was unable to arrive on time to a scheduled in-studio interview. The former Maryland governor instead called in by phone.

“Gov. O’Malley, I must say I’m somewhat surprised that you could not make it here in time as you had promised to,” Rehm said immediately after introducing her guest.

Seemingly trying to lighten the situation, O’Malley joked, “Well Diane, you can’t believe every promise every politician makes.”

Rehm didn’t seem amused as she only shook her head in agreement.

“I sincerely apologize,” O’Malley said, explaining that he was dealing with traffic and “should have left even earlier.”

“Absolutely,” Rehm agreed.

Very typical of Omalley when he was Governor. Glad she stood up to him as most wouldn't

Nodding a head is an indication of agreement. Shaking a head is a sign of disagreement.

So...WSDL 90.7 AND WAMU 88.3 both play the Diane Rehm show at the exact same time from 10 to noon. AND they all play Morning Edition and All Things Considered at the exact times on 89.5, 90.7, 88.3 and 91.3...that's four taxpayer funded radio stations duplicating services. What a waste of taxpayer dollars.

As governor he was rarely on time. He has no respect for others at all; typical narcissist.
