Having rummaged through a cluttered backstage closet for nearly half an hour in an effort to locate its elegantly curved lavender form, stage manager Paul Guzman is said to have finally pulled the GOPs official ladies podium out of storage for Carly Fiorina ahead of Wednesday nights Republican primary debate. This thing was way back there jammed behind some sound equipmentI honestly didnt think wed be using it this year, said Guzman as he brushed dust away from the floral-patterned carvings on the front of the lectern, which stands several inches shorter than the other podiums and features a lift-up vanity mirror, four delicate finials, and an upholstered velvet work surface for holding debate notes and personal accessories. Its always kind of a pain to drag this out, but at least we only need one of them. Plus, this is probably the last time well have to use it this year. Guzman noted that, on the positive side, he wouldnt have to spend any extra time wiring up the GOPs ladies podium, as it doesnt contain a microphone.
