Print it off and then sit and watch a politician being interviewed. In almost any interview at least one of these ploys will be used and most often several of them will be used.
1. Attack the Question. - That’s a very silly question, how can you justify the use of the words “Above the Law"?

2. Attack the Questioner. - "How many years have you spent in government?"

3. Compliment the question. - "That’s a very good question. I’d like to thank you for asking me it. Let me reply by asking you one."

4. Unloading the question. - Most questions are loaded. They are full of assumptions such as "A lot of people have said that you consider yourself above the law." There are two possible replies to such loaded questions:

a) Name Ten
b) Surely in a nation of 60 million people you can find a few people who will say anything no matter how irrelevant, misguided, or ill-informed.
