I love it when this happens. Someone asks a political surrogate to justify the unjustifiable and they respond with non-answer after non-answer in standard blowhard form. Instead of providing an honest answer to a pointed question they revert to attacking the “other guy” to deflect attention from their own deficiencies. Q: Give me an example of such and such. A: (in the form of thought bubbles above the surrogate’s head) I have no idea, so I’m just gonna attack the other guy. Attack, attack, attack!
Man, our current state of political affairs really, really sucks. Below is a recent example of this frustrating phenomenon, which applies equally to both sides of the political spectrum, mind you.
