As always, MBS. And thanks, karynnj, for the link! I loved how he didn't let Andrea get away with one single thing. I think she was impressed, too. Obviously, they've known each other well for many years, and I'm sure they respect each other, but on air, it's her job to try to put him on the spot, and I thought this was a particularly expert bit of journalist-wrangling!

I also love that it's ALWAYS his m.o. to cut through as much BS as possible. The stereotype of a politician is that they speak fluent BS, but JK really does tell it like it is, no matter how hard news people try to trap him or catch him off guard or manipulate him into something sensational. He just looks them in the eye and (when he's allowed to get a word in!) tells the truth.

And that's a good part of why I come back to this forum every day...
