Wasn't it Rather who kept pressing H.W. in that interview that turned nasty back in the 80's? I think the issue was the Iran Contra mess. H.W. didn't want to answer the tough question (imagine that), and it turned into one of these pestering situations. I mean, when they refuse to answer the question....that answers the question as far as i'm concerned!
In the non-political arena though, Dan Patrick and, to a lesser extent Jim Gray, do this all the time in their sports interviews. My friends seem to eat it up....it always ticks me off though. > who would be an example of this? > > Dana > > > On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 08:07:52 -0600, G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I like the reporter that asks the tough question.
