Good evening and welcome to the first edition of Pressing Questions, the show where we bring together random people and ask the questions you want answered. On tonight’s show we have Mr. A., a politician running for office, isn’t that right?

Mr. A.: That’s correct.

Host: So, are you running for the Democrat or Republican side, Mr. A?

Mr. A.: Yes.

Host: Yes for the Democrats, or…

Mr. A.: No comment.

Host: …Fair enough. Ok, so now that we’ve met our panelist, it’s time to get to business. Let’s press the questions. Mr. A…

Mr. A.: No comment.

Host: But I haven’t asked a question yet.

Mr. A.: I’d like it to be known that those were your words, not mine.

Host: What? But that… You’re supposed to answer my questions. Let’s try this again. Mr. A., what do you say about the opinion that politicians constantly refrain from making any decisive statement for fear of what the truth might cause to their campaigns?

Mr. A.: I do not dis-deny the statement that has been un-dis-truthfully not handed down upon the not me at this time without the express written consent…

Host: Mr. A., Mr. A…. what the heck are you talking about?

Mr. A: That’s a good question. Let me answer that by asking you a question.

(Pause…)

(More Pausing…)

Host: Well?

Mr. A.: Damn it! There’s a war going on, and you’re asking silly questions?

Host: What does the Iraq war have to do with…?

Mr. A.: What? Iraq? No, I’m talking about the war on illiteracy, drugs, and people who eat kittens.

Host: Well, that answers my next question about politicians using the word “war” as a scare tactic.

Mr. A.: Have I told you about my family and my religion yet?

Host: We’re almost out of time, so I have one more question. Lately, politicians have been dodging almost every question throw their way with a mixture of lies, mis-truths, buck-passing, and flat out denial. How are we as a nation supposed to put faith in our politicians when they can’t even answer for their own problems without hours of subterfuge?

(Pause; Mr. A seems to contemplate.)

(More pausing…)

(Still more pausing…)

(More pausing and contemplating…)

Mr. A.: Vote for me!

Host: *Sigh* Thank you Mr. A. Well, that’s all the time we have, join us again next time.
