NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Asked And Answered?
Radio talk show host Kevin McCullough (WMCA 570) recently interviewed presidential candidate Mitt Romney, asking him "direct questions" about his current positions on abortion, traditional marriage, the War on Terror and the Iraq War. But Romney’s time was "so extremely limited" that McCullough was unable to "dig deeper on the issues that we all care about" and did not get to ask about tax cuts, gun rights, education reform and tort reform.
Nonetheless, his perfunctory interview convinced McCullough that Romney did not "try to duck, or shade language." Unless he injected Romney with sodium pentathol or hooked him up to an MRI machine that would show increased brain activity when his words did not match his true intentions, The Stiletto doesn’t understand how McCullough can be so sure that he got the straight dope. It’s not like Romney hasn’t flip-flopped on abortion, campaign finance reform, gun control, gay rights, minimum wage, immigration, and tax cuts – in other words, the very issues about which McCullough asked or wanted to ask direct questions. Maybe McCullough is so full of himself that he thinks Romney will tell him the truth, even though he has a record of misleading voters.
