Just answer the questions. The fact that they never question Democrats with such vigor is undoubtedly true, but not really relevant.
Please refresh my memory. Who was the young democratic go-getter who used these phrases? Wasn't it a young black female lawyer during the Clinton impeachment trials? I remember hearing this, and some of the initial mainstream reaction was, I think, that a star had been born. yet I can't remember her name!
Answer the questions? I wouldn't answer any questions if they showed up at a press conference, and spoke off the topic. I would simply walk away as soon as she opened her mouth off topic. The rest of the media will get tired of the 60 minutes crew shutting down press conferences.
