Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Cat Best for September 6, 2018, the Un-Song Hero edition.

I am David Plotzevals.

Obscura, we're all together in the CBS Radio studio here in New York City, John Dickerson.

Facing me, not really facing me to my right of CBS this morning.

Hello, John.

Thank you for having us.

Well, actually these came from Ireland in a chemist in Ireland.

You know what we were in the countryside of Ireland.

The front window of the chemist was an advertisement for some liquid you could give cows

to help with their digestion.

That was the most important thing.

They were selling to passers-by, but they also had glasses.

And two John's right is Emily Bazlon of the New York Times magazine.

Hello, Emily.

Hello, David.

I have no story to top that.

That was very distinctive.

If one of us was going to write an op-ed about the scandal inside the Cat Fest, which one

of us would write it anonymously, I think it would probably be me.

You're John, you're too honorable.
