Why I Could Never Be A Newscaster
Committed from memory (so probably somewhat inaccurate) from Meet the Press on Sunday:
David Gregory: "Senator Durbin, how will the President pay for his health care plan without raising taxes or expanding the deficit?"
Dick Durbin (D-Ill): "I think all members of congress should take the President at his word when he says he won't do either. Remember, he inherited a trillion dollar deficit for this year from a Republican administration who cut taxes on the wealthy and spent money without the funds to support it."
Me (to the television): "Thanks for not answering the question and being an all around political dick, Dick."
