Rachel Maddow: Is Mr. Castor just... ad libbing?

Is Mr. Castor just... ad libbing?

Ever have one of those nightmares where it's your time to talk and everybody's looking at you, but you haven't prepared anything?

I've had that nightmare a million times, but never once where the amount of time I had to tread water and ad lib and fail and flail was **four hours**.

Now I'm worried that the next time I have this nightmare, I'm going to say things like "off the top of my head I can't remember" and "whatever it was, I'm not sure". That would be an even worse nightmare than my usual.

In my recurring “I’m not prepared and yet I’m talking anyway” nightmare, if I got to a point where I said “Nebraska is quite the judicial thinking place,” I think that’s the time I would wake up yelling and sweating.

Me: “The constitution shall make no laws... uh... all of these things!”

Susan: “Honey you’re yelling in your sleep”
