Congressional Hearings Have you watched Congressional (or Senate) hearings lately? I have. They're not pretty. Unlike only a few decades ago, most Congressional interrogators come armed only with talking points or staff generated questions. The quality is usually poor; the delivery automatic; the responses are either submissive or arrogant. Television does not help the quality of the event, diminishing the findings mostly because it gives national exposure. We offer several categories of questioners. Most are dedicated to various forms of grandstanding, emotional displays, partisan attacks, and irrational utterances. All questioners are given only a few minutes to make points or make questions. They must be quick. Nimble? Forget that. The List. A. Pepper spray – Offering a barrage of questions giving little or no time for answers. B. Passion fruit – I feel so intense about this injustice to the American people and want to make you accountable. You bad person
