Anyhow, you may wonder what my, or anyone else's, role in last Friday's debate was. And in that same vein, what exactly is a Media Transcript Runner? 

Essentially, we were the life blood that fed the thousands of reporters. Every ten minutes eight of us would run the transcribed debate segments to every member of the media. Oh yeah, without an automatic stapler on the printer. 

So, three hours later, we finally had a chance to stop and reflect on what we had just done. After being hounded by hundreds of members of the media from numerous countries, I thought not one other person could possibly have a question. Boy was I wrong. A journalist wearing an ethnic shirt came walking up to me and said, "Eyyy, bud-dee, wha segmentz iz zis?" My response? "Where are you from?" His rebuttle: "I from Ghana mayne." 

Immediately feeling bad for the guy just because of the language and cultural barrier, alone, I felt obligated to help fulfill his media transcript needs. Yes, I made a friend.

Once I made my run to assist my buddy from Ghana, I was able to take a second and think about who I was able to see, and meet, while assisting the media. The list includes John Kerry, Katie Couric, Haley Barbour, Sean Hannity, Alan Colmes, Rudy Giuliani, Bill Richardson, and many more.

At which point, I walked over to the Fox News set and asked some ladies if they needed the segment transcripts. A short, blonde woman looked up at me, at which point I realized that she was Greta Von Susteren. She said, "Who are you?" 

Me: I'm just the guy who forgot his camera.
