"Mr. Smith, good of you to be here today. This week has been a disaster for your candidate, what with the child molestation charges, embezzling from the convent coming to the surface, and it turning out he isn't a lawyer, didn't go to college, flunked out of high school and has 4 wives. Hasn't paid child support for years."

"Harry, I'd like to say that this campaign is about the person who is worried about their job, who is worried about losing their home, who is worried about the quality of education. This campaign is about fiscal responsibility, protecting the Homeland and giving every man, woman and child a chance. This campaign is about dignity."

"Well, Bill, your guy just filed for bankruptcy after using campaign funds to pay his mistress' apartment and your accountant turning him in. How does that apply to "fiscal responsibility"?

"Harry, we believe in the sanctity of marriage, in the idea of one God who loves us all, forgives us all, and let's us move on. My candidate made a couple of choices he deeply regrets. If God forgives him, who are you or anyone else to condemn him?"

TB has always done that when he can't answer a question or the question doesn't have a flattering answer. He just seems to be getting worse.

And one can't blame him. Most of us allow ourselves to get sidetracked, off on one of his tangents, and he's won. Doesn't have to look at the hard stuff.
