The parliamentarian is there to tell her how to say it in the proper form. It prevents her from just yelling out, "Hey, shut up y'all!" That would not look good on the record.
Edit: It might not be called parliamentarian, but I'm willing to bet there's a name for the person hired to provide the proper language when needed.
Really?.... I'm sorry but that's a lame excuse...You Telling me that someone has to be told "The Gentleman is Not recognized"....You Have to be told that??... I'm not in politics but even I know that you cannot speak out of turn and if so that's the first thing the Chair/speaker says..."You're not recognized"...
Parliamentary rules are insanely complex, most of that complexity being dedicated to resolving disagreements over what is or isn't in order for a person to do. The formalities of these organizations are almost all scripted beforehand, with the real discussions and planning happening before the meetings. You basically spend 3 hours of prep time for 1 hour of official business, in order to prevent hundreds of hours spent in lawsuits and challenges.
Of course, that's no excuse for the chair not to know the basics. "Shut the fuck up" is one of the first formalities you need to learn for a contentious body.
Isn't that what a parliamentarian does? To ensure that the correct language gets into the record for whatever situation? Doesn't seem unusual to me.
Seriously...?Then Why is she there?...being told exactly what to say.....Its a f*cking shit show
