It was a dumb question. It deserved a dumb answer. If you've never stood before a crowd of people, cameras, and media, while being asked a question you don't know the answer to, but are expected to, then you don't know what that "deer in the headlights" feeling is all about. When you realize you're going to have to wing it, some of us can bullshit our way through, while others have yet to learn the art. Why do you think Bush does so few press conferences? Exactly. I'd rather listen to an 18 year-old girl stumble through a dumb Q&A than that nit-wit we have for a president. Give the girl a break. Pick on somebody your own size.
