Eludere le domande

Scopri perchè la politica è un teatro

DUBBIO

Politicians are notoriously fond of “dodging questions.”  But why would anyone do this?  If a wife asks her husband, “Where were you last night?,” dodging the question is practically his worst possible option.  After all, if he won’t answer, her common-sense reaction is to assume the worst.

ESEMPI

“Who do you respect more – veterans or teachers?”

“What is the maximum number of American deaths we should pay to defeat Saddam Hussein?”

“How should we respond if a welfare recipient spends their entire check on the first day of the month?”

“What is the biggest problem we should do nothing to fix?”
