every primary candidate the same thing.

The one I remember best was Biden in 2008. I don't remember which male talking head was questioning him. But, after newsguy asked Biden about VP and Biden said no, newsguy said, "How about Secretary of State?" The question caught Biden by surprise and he said, "Oh, well, Secretary of State," in such a way that you knew he wanted it.

Couric was blathering something like, "as a woman from a modest and humble life, marrying an ex-Beatle you must have been thinking...". Olivia cut her off and said something like, "how lucky George was to have met me".

She is unbearably obnoxious. Bernie could have asked her if she'd be interested in filling in for Brian Williams since she's been booted from every tv job she's had.

What an offensive, demeaning question.

many who still don't know who Bernie is. Expat women for instance who are caught up now in a bubble of name recognition. Exposure is exposure and Bernie is good no matter how insipid the vehicle for the questions are.

On the situation. Boxers can be cooler in the summer but briefs offer more support when you're planning to be active.
