    Why doesn't every person in the room stand up en masse and shout "YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION!"??

    I just don't get it.

    Anyhow, as for your question, it would be pointless. You can push it but as a reporter you would only get kicked out or next time he wouldn't call on you.

    How stupid, that someone (even a president) can completely IGNORE the question at hand and get away with it!

    This isn't even a slam on Bush, per se...I hate that ANYONE gets away with doing something so blatant and ridiculous...just answer the question damnit! she asked if what former President Clinton claimed was factually accurate, the only honest replies to such a direct question are yes, no, or "no comment" right? Or maybe "yes, but here are the reasons why this happened".

    So, four potential honest answers, and all the rest is just BS no?

    If "no" (douglas), why not?
