Politicians always talking around questions ?

SIX PACK

Why do politicians always talk around questions & never give a straight answer ? I talking mainly about the party that are in power.
Like how much Lies has Fianna Faíl told us in the last 3 years ?
Even the 2 Brians are still in denial about the real state of our finances & the reason the IMF are here (i taught we had turned the corner ? ? ? :mad: Im so Fcukin angry :mad:
Emigration is my only hope now

i agree. it sickens me, especially listening to Lenihan on the 6-1 with Dobbo. He sprouted enough ****e in the last 3 days to fill a slatted house and now that the games up & he's been found out, he's still at it, waffling away as if he's on autopilot. :mad:

Edit. I just remembered, Gilmore did the same thing on the late late show last week, talked a lot about how he was going to clean up politics, but he just danced around where he'd cut when asked

SIX PACK

I suppose as long as you have an answer for absolutely every question trown at you, youl make a sound politician,

You've got to hand it to the slimy pricks though. It's a tremendous skill to avoid a question and get away with murder. There's the famous clip with Jeremy Paxman & Michael Howard where Paxman finally gave in after asking him the same thing ten times.
