Is everyone in this administration a long-winded bloviator in love with the sound of their own voices?

Not really; It's a tied and true technique that all "progressives" learned at the Clinton School of Transparency.

If asked a tough question, change the subject. Or say, "Bush did the same thing." If that doesn't work, there's always... filibuster! Keep talking incoherently until the host can't stand it and tries to move on.

Personally I prefer if the host lets them.
If the viewing audience has an average IQ over 100, they will see through the charade. And the senseless answer played endlessly later is amusing documentation of the technique.
If the viewing audience has an average IQ of under 70, they are viewing a different channel anyway!

The administration can’t answer the questions so they they ramble to take up time.

He sure can fit ten pounds of BS in to a two pound bag in a hurry.

Probably how he manages to bag rich women.

The longer the answer, the fewer the questions.

They aren't necessarily in love with their own voice, they simply understand the obvious, that if you want to avoid serious issues being addressed, the best tactic is to filibuster. Rat congressmen do it all the time in so-called "hearings." They use up all the time they can by holding forth instead of asking any questions at all.
