1. I wonder what would have happened if the reporter
would have changed the questions after the interview started?

2. That's why he kept being rude to
her..he had a set answer and if he didn't finish it, he wouldn't be able to go on to the next answer..it would have confused him.

3. Also, he was running out the clock
They had a list, and if he spends 5 minutes spewing "Freedom, terraist, evil-doers" long enough she won't get a word in or a follow-up question.

5. It was a pitiful performance
and she wasn't being unreasonable at all. Just a journalist doing her job.

God I can't wait to get rid of this numbskull so he can go back to drinking and snorting up.
