Ken Bone started the phone conversation with an important clarification.
“This is the Ken Bone in Missoula,” he said.
It had been a strange and hilarious 24 hours for Bone, the former Washington State basketball coach, who just so happened to be watching the presidential debate last night when a gentleman in a red sweater, glasses and sporting a mustache took a microphone and rose to ask a question, thus capturing the hearts and imaginations of the country.
That Kenneth Bone, a regular guy from Illinois, became an instant internet sensation, appearing in memes and GIFs on CNN and all over the internet.
