Why do candidates answer inane and rude and stupid questions from the media???

I think people would respect them more if they just said, ‘that’s a rude and inappropriate question and I won’t dignify it by responding.’

Or in the case of stupid questions. Like: what songs do you have on your IPOD? They all answered. I wish one of them would have said, “I don’t answer questions like that and if you ask me what kind of tree I would be, I won’t answer that either.”

I’d love to hear Fred Thompson say something like that in his wonderful voice dripping with irony.

On an offshoot of that, I started listening to Hugh Hewitt a few days ago and stopped on the same day when he claimed he had no idea who George Strait is.

Either that’s a lie because he wanted to show that he thinks country music is stupid and low class, or it’s the truth (which is scarier) and maybe he’s never heard of Dale Earnhardt either.

I’ll never listen to him again.

Actually the Romneys did tell Wallace that they did not answer those kind of questions but then at the end said the answer is No.

I am waiting for someone to ask Giuliani or Clinton or any pro-choicer if they or any member of their family has ever had an abortion..

Another stupid question: What is the last book you have read? What books are on your bedside table?
