To a politician, there is no such thing.
"Did you have sex with this woman?"
would have to turn into "Did you exchange bodily fluids, perform intercourse, oral sex, including, but not limited to fellatio, have any physical contact with either one or both of your penis and her vagina?" Basicaly, the reporter would have to define "sex" before the question was asked and we then know the reswponse would be, I find your question disgusting and not worthy of a response". Thus changing the direction.
Rare are the politicians like Mr. John Ford who pauses, only to ensure his truthful answer is accurate...."Yes".
What I'd wish is that reporters would not let go a question till an answer was given....
"Congressman Moneybags, did you divert funds from the children's hospital and towards a defense contractor instead?"
"Hospitals serve an important part of our community. So does defense and we need to understand that we need the defense for the children. Can you imagine a world where children are threatened by terrorists. I want to ensure that all our children are safe and secure where ever they go unlike my esteemed colleagues that appose a strong defense and continue to increase spending on welfare programs".
Wait what? The reporter ignores this obvious obfuscation and falls into the trap..."So MB, you feel we need to spend more on defense" This is what I see time and time again with today's so called reporters.
