New Flomax commercial?

March
2

How does it feel to be caught in the bathroom when a speaker at a conference you’re running cuts his remarks short and leaves the podium empty?

“I felt like I was in a Flomax commercial,’’ David Little of the state School Boards Association told board members from around the state gathered here today for a legislative conference, after rushing back into the breach. He was referring to the drug that deals with prostate problems.

He was caught short when Senate Minority Leader Dean Skelos, R-Nassau County, delivered a short boiler-plate speech about his opposition to property taxes and support for education before leaving without taking questions.

Actually, that wasn’t the worst part of his morning. He also ducked through a door and didn’t realize it was to a stairway and it locked after him. He had to go  outside into the snowy day and walk several hundred yards to another building to get back to where he started.

Yet he seemed relatively unruffled speaking before the group.

“Never let them see you sweat,’’ he said.
