> All of that. I’d like to see him sit through a session of, “Here is a video clip of you saying X, here is evidence that what you said was a lie, explain.” over, and over, and over… No moral or emotional judgements about kootschgrabben or pissinhooker, or pictures of brown babies in cages, just keep it simple and universal–“You say a lot of untrue things, why is that? Are you good with people lying to you, or is that just a one-way street?”

Oh baby, I would LOVE to see that! With one provision: no euphemisms like “untruth,” “misstatement,” or “falsehood.” Why do you LIE? Why is every statement from you a LIE? Do you know you are LYING? Do you know why you LIE? Do you believe your own LIES? Stuff like that. 🙂

One thing I did notice, though: he does not look well. His face is red and mottled, his eyes puffy and watery. Of course the hairdo was ratted, poofy and sprayed into a weird twirl, and maybe it’s the high def, but he just looks terribly unhealthy.

Not a baby? I’d need to see some proof of that. Right now all the evidence points the other way.

One benefit of living in a foreign country without TV. I have avoided watching him for longer than six seconds at a time.

I have absolutely no interest in watching suckup interviews so I’d skip it even if I had TV.

As Stephen Colbert noted, we know he’s not a baby, because babies pee _their own_ beds.

Did your friend know in advance that the company was in trouble? How soon before air time was the office raided?

Nobody at my friends level knew a thing. My friend was just an insurance salesman who thought everything was on the up and up. The investigative journalists had their story and ambushed my friend’s boss a week before airtime, but none of the salesmen knew a thing.

I did some searching to find details of the broadcast, but it was long ago and there have been a few more recent insurance scandals.☹
