Angle To Reporter: I'll Answer Questions 'When I'm The Senator'
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/10/angle-to-reporter-ill-answer-questions-when-im-the-senator-video.php?ref=fpb

Nathan Baca, the local CBS affiliate reporter in Las Vegas who has made a good career this year of chasing around Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle and attempting in vain to get her to answer his questions, has just posted another gem.

As Baca's latest segment shows, he intercepted Angle at McCarran International Airport, and tried to ask her questions about national security and diplomacy, such as her calls for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations, and who would be our country's willing allies.

Angle answered: "I think when it comes to major policy issues, the people of Nevada are most concerned about our jobs, our homes and our economy."

"But if you want to be one of 100 U.S. Senators that are going to be deciding on war powers and on ratifying treaties, which is what a Senator has to do, you have to answer these questions."

"Well, certainly," said Angle. "And I'll answer those questions when I'm the Senator."

1. And if it works for her, it'll be standard procedure for the GOP in the future.

2. Too bad . . .
Because senators aren't always the best at answering questions in a straightforward manner. And if she loses, nobody's gonna be asking.

3. She means......IF she's Senator.
No way should she ever have that title. We deserve to know exactly where she stands on those issues that are vital to our country's interests.

Hey, Sharron. If you don't answer the questions NOW, then you don't deserve to be anyone's Senator.

4. WE mean 'IF' -- she means 'WHEN'
She's crazy, anyway ...

And then, maybe the fix is in...

But I'm sure that she means 'WHEN'.
