Cochran Conference Call Descends Into Chaos

“A conference call set up by the campaign for Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) devolved into a shouting match and then ended, after which time supporters of GOP primary challenger Chris McDaniel (R) chatted for a bit,” the Jackson Clarion Ledger reports.

“As word of the debacle spread on Twitter, it quickly became journalists dialing in to see what the commotion was about, only to sit and laugh about the fact that it was over. At the time of this posting, some 30 minutes after the call started, someone was playing soundbites from President Barack Obama, Animal House and news shows. Eventually, some of the clips became racist and vulgar. Wildly entertaining but wholly unprofessional.”
