Let’s Just Say I Asked My Chosen Question About Penny Schwinn, And The Roof Promptly Blew Off The Governor’s Office, Or Perhaps The Governor Himself. I Can Honestly Say That I Was Very Respectful And Polite When I Asked The Question. I Was Genuinely Surprised That A Politician, Traditionally Known For Shaking Hands And Kissing Babies, And The Leader Of Our State Couldn’t Smile Politely And Just Make Nice, Even If He Didn’t Like My Question. How Could I Be A Threat To Him? What Did It Gain Him To Yell At Me? Would It Not Have Been Far More Politically Skillful To Smile Disingenuously, Butter Me Up, Thank Me For My Efforts And Then Send Me On My Way, Even If He Despised Me Through It All? At The Best, He Would Fool Me Into Thinking He Was My Ally (And That Probably Would Have Worked, Because I Can Be Gullible). At The Least, I Wouldn’t Be Writing Any Of This.
