1. i was thinking the same thing

i don't want to get into conspiracies but when it cut seconds after he said "I am gay" i was incredulous.

yeah it could be technical glitch but it was a bit odd.

2. Wondering The Same Thing Here

Hope she has him back on tomorrow.

3. Not on Rachel's show.

6. You'd think so, but when he went into the honor system at West Point,

and how Don't Ask Don't Tell goes against the system he was cut off. It was too much a coincidence for me, but I hope I'm wrong.

4. That was very unfortunate. Rachel was not happy.

It did look very suspicious.

5. I heard it also - Wonder if anyone can read lips?

7. Most likely, in my opinion...

It wasn't so much the words "I am gay" that got his mic cut, but the words "I am in violation of the US code".

Of course, if indeed he was cutoff on purpose.

8. Couple of ways to see this..

I can't believe he was going to say anything that had not been known by the show in advance.
but
we have had several incidences of tv news being cut off, most famously here in Ala. and the cable company getting caught red handed doing it.
Rachel made a comment about how she did not want to "feel conspiratol" but
when they returned from commercial she did not give much of an explanation beyond the fact she
"hoped" to have guy on again.

Dunno...strange.

9. at first i thought it was Concast because it happens so often

but it lasted too long and then Rachel stepprd in.

10. It sure looked that way to me. I don't care how they spin it. The mike was pulled on Choi. nt

12. I wondered the same, same.

Really suspicious, imho.
