FLASHPOINT for Jun 09, 2006

So Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said he wanted to learn all he could from his fellow mayors about homelessness. So, a reporter asked Thursday, what did he learn when they were gathered here recently? Sayeth the mayor: "Nothing." Nothing? the reporter wondered. "Nope. Nothing I didn't know." And then helpful city/mayoral spokesman David Riggleman told the reporter that a published report was erroneous that Goodman had left the room after he asked for ideas. Goodman then wondered why no one will answer whether the homeless folks can be institutionalized besides "some newspaper pundits that I use their articles for my grand dogs." Grammatically challenged, but strongly put! Who are these pundits?
