There you go again, making assumptions about my views ... and again, you prove that you have no idea what I think.

No assumption needed to be honest. You've laid the groundwork quite well.

Which really wasn't an answer ...

Honestly it was more than it deserved. I mean really, westsider, you get upset if I "presume" to know your views but you're so quick to "presume" to know mine. And you don't even begin to see the irony in it.

I didn't presume anything ... I asked a simple question, one you haven't yet answered.

As you see it ...

To be honest, I think he could have asked it a better way, without using the word "flake". So, was the premise of the question fair? I think so. Was the wording done in such a way as to convey journalistic integrity? Possibly not. I mean, I think I'd avoid the word "flake" if it were me. Maybe I'd say "Some people thing your soundbites are outlandish...what do you say to those people?" Doesn't that sound less...I don't know....flaky?

Your question was less genuine than Wallace's question to Bachmann.

This I totally agree with! That's the problem from the start, he was disrespectful to say the least, and I wouldn't even consider voting for Bachmann.

As you see it ...

Well yeah, just as your opinions are as you see them...

On the flip side...if she weren't so flaky, he wouldn't have even had to ask! :lol:

:lol: See, it's ok if you or I think she is. It's ok if he thinks she is. It's not ok for a journalist to ask that in an interview, not the way he did it.

I'll be 100% honest...there are many days that I can't remember how old I am. :lol: And I've misstated my kids ages many times. Of course, no one had a microphone in my face so I didn't get caught.

 

On the serious side, her birthday is Monday, so it's not like there were months to go before she turned 13.

 

And, technically she's in her 13th year. She'll be in her 14th beginning July 4th.

So you agree that anyone can mis-speak from time to time without being labeled flaky??
