Even from 2000 miles away here in St. Louis, I’ve long recognized Stark as a particularly odious piece of arrogant filth, even when compared to the abysmally low standards of his fellow Congressional scummates.
I agree that Stark is a major-league pr-ck but the interviewer ranks about 2 on a scale out of 10. He is either a very poor interviewer or was deliberately trying to be disarming and play dumb. And he should’ve given Stark more and more rope to hang himself before asking the obvious, rather than just interrupting him.
