that's incredible. how can a guy with such a high-level, public-facing position be so bad at interviews? I can understand why a public health official might be inclined to exaggerate, simplify, and/or mislead to get the general public to follow the program. I don't approve, but I understand why people might think that's justified. what I don't understand is how you can do all that and not have the common sense to refrain from admitting to it in plain english. isn't that public office 101?
