Prophetic Words

I am reminded of Charles Laughton's comments in Witness for the Prosecution.  When Marlene Dietrich is speaking, Tyrone Power goes a little hysterical in the accused box.  The Judge asks Charles Laughton's character (Sir Wilfred Robards) if his client needs a few minutes to compose himself.
.
Now Sir Wilfered knows that the quicker she gets off the scene, the better for his client.  And so he says..
.
Thank you, your honor.  But no.  I know we are all enthralled to hear this tale of  Horror Fiction.  To have to hear it installments might prove unendurable! 
.
I am remind of this comment during these Republican Debates, the last major one before Iowa tonight happens tonight at 9PM.  To hear this nincompoopery in installments has, it turns out, proven to be unendurable!
