Beyond any doubt, the most enthralling aspect of politics and government is the trainwreck interview. It is pretty much like watching a rattle-snake. You are drawn between, on the one hand, the menacing presence of something horrifying and threatening that might turn on you at any minute and, on the other, a disbelief that there could be anyone so appallingly and embarrassingly silly as to be mouthing the nonsense that comes across in your average trainwreck interview.
