Is this the title of this particular post? Of course it is.
Former Mississippi secretary of State commenting on the manslaughter conviction of ex-KKK member Edgar Ray Killen in USA Today:
“Should this have been done 40 years ago? Absolutely. Is there more work to be done? Clearly.”
Is interviewing yourself an annoying rhetorical tic? Sure it is. Do all politicians and business leaders do it? Yes they do. Is it almost always a transparent attempt to avoid tough questions while pretending to be frank and forthcoming? Obviously, that's the case. Should we relentlessly mock everyone who engages in this loathsome practice until they finally break down and start speaking in good old declarative sentences instead of acting like they have their very own internal Charlie Rose? Absolutely.
