“This should not be about personalities. It should be about policy.”
Just once, I wish that a reporter would have the integrity to just lean in close like LBJ intimidating a staffer, almost touching face to face, and then emit a single peal of pure derisive laughter. Just a single loud, half maniacal high pitched “UH-HAAA!”, close enough that they can feel the wind of it. And then just walk away. No follow-up questions, no segue way or thank you for your time. Just loud laughter and then the end of the interview, without another word.
