If memory serves me, while serving in Congress amidst a heated midterm battle in the mid-2000s, I made a cable television appearance where I was asked an “ambush” question. Well, it wasn’t quite an ambush question, because the station in question was left-wing; hence, the anchor’s Pavlovian parroting of the Democrat talking point du jour was really no surprise. The question was something along the lines of “Does every Republican blindly listen to Rush?”
“Who doesn’t love a Canadian power rock trio?” I replied. My interrogator was nonplussed. I elaborated, “Though I do prefer Triumph.”
