Personally, I'd have gone with "Mr. L." These are the sort of questions that make me worry that I'm turning into Andy Rooney.

Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 Makes me wonder if any of the "interviews" are actually with Palin; if not, what the hell is she going to be doing? Introducing the interviews with "well, this person had no interest in talking to me but here is their interview with some other person"?

Just admit you were wrong to use the footage without implying he is somehow "against" inspiting others.
