Who says Mike “The Phantom” Easley won’t talk to the press?
Posted December 3rd, 2008 at 1:56 PM by Jon HamMike “The Phantom” Easley is hard to find these days. When not sneaking out of the State Capitol to avoid the North Carolina media, he’s jetting around to mysterious places and apparently instructing his press staff to tell an inquiring media to get stuffed.
But let the BBC World News ask for a one-on-one interview an Gov. Mike stampedes into the studio to talk about any and all things with BBC correspondent Katty Kay (yes, that’s her real name).
The lesson for the N.C. media?: Acquire a British accent and some long blond hair and maybe The Phantom will give you the time of day.

Actor Billy Zane played The Phantom in the movie of the same name, and he was for a while engaged to long-haired British vixen Kelly Brook. So there is some truth to what you say: Phantoms are attracted to British chicks.
But I’m sure he agreed to the interview because he knew all the questions would be softballs, and that no political harm could come from doing so. All the questions asked around here revolve around his many, many deficiencies.

How much did his wife spend during the interview?
