Press him on this at the briefing today.

I have a love-hate relationship with these briefings. I can't stand him or the sight or sound of him, and I really don't appreciate the droningly-boring recitation of statistics and test types they all list out in their soporific manner as if they're trying to lull us into believing anything is normal.

But if one reporter can ask the right question and get him to flip out, he reveals his true self, and that can sometimes have positive results, since it shows moderate voters the repellent person we know him to be.
