Kender,

Don't ask questions you know the answer to.

Different than being asked specifically about one's colleagues? Absolutely. One is a general question while the other, well, isn't.

C'mon, I know the Ivy League isn't what it used to be, Kato (few college campuses are), but you know the difference without trying to be cutesy.

"Why do you think so many conservative politicians get corrupted or lose their
principles after they're in office?" - Mr. E Pluribus

That's not doing the same thing?

at 4:28 Chuck says, 'if the Republicans grow a spine and stand firm . . . ' sounds like Chuck is the one that brought it up. He calls for 'no compromise,' which is when Pia inquires as to why Republicans WOULD compromise. Are they principled? Or are they RINO's? Are they John McCain Republicans? Are they afraid to stand up to the majority? Seems like she was simply following Chuck's lead. This is a wonderful and timely conversation about principles and compromise that couldn't have been better if it was scripted.

And there was nothing 'unintelligible' or even inaudible. She just paused and clarified, 'the Party's principles,' giving Chuck the opportunity to discuss the party's principles. Where else could she have gone from there? Ask how 'they get CORRUPTED?' or how they 'LOSE their principles?' That's not loaded? that's like asking if you've stopped beating your wife.

Nothing rouses controversy and emotions like a Pia Varma interview.
