Senator Roberts;
Then as the questioning by Brit continued; "Just how serious are the Republican Senators in keeping the Senate in extended session in order to force a hard filibuster"? The good Senator, chest out and bristling, resorted to classical North Korean rhetoric to avoid a straight-forward answer. Brit continued by asking the same question in four attempts at a clear answer. The good Senator obviously ( I say obviously rather then CLEARLY) had an agenda that did not include answering the question that was being asked.
In a past candid interview long ago, Tony Snow had explained the scenario of the questioner and the questioned. The show's host would not press for a straight answer beyond three or four attempts if the politico being questioned clearly didn't want to answer. You know, like a gentlemen's agreement.
