Senator John Kennedy: "These gotcha books don't really interest me that much."

[Towlie]

One down-side to this sheer mountain of books about Trump is that, no matter how compelling and damning they are, Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana has found that he can casually dismiss the lot with "These gotcha books don't really interest me that much."

It's unfortunate that Pam Brown of CNN wasn't more alert when Kennedy redirected her question about Trumps's contradictions into a question about a book by first asking her "You're talking about the Woodward book?"

She wasn't, and should have answered "No, I'm talking about what the president said, which we have on tape", but instead she fell for it and answered "Yes, the Woodward book", allowing Kennedy to proceed with his despicable game plan.

Watch the video.

4. Nothing Seems To Interest Him Much

Which is why he can't be bothered to do his job

5. When your baby is learning to speak, don't stick them in front of

the TV with that show on.

The same is true with Bobcat Goldthwait and that AFLAC guy.

6. Gotcha books

Don’t interest him much, unless of course it’s one blasting the democrats. That’s different. I love these clowns.

7. "These gotcha books don't really interest me that much."

Got it. What does?

[Polly Hennessey]

8. Well, mr. kennedy,

you don’t interest me at all.

10. He obviously memorized and rehearsed this line.

I saw that segment, and he repeated this mantra several times, always with the exact same words, even when it had little or no bearing on the question.

I'll bet this was a KGOP talking point sent out to all their flacks that morning. Just keep repeating the same line, with the magic word "gotcha" to eat up interview time.

OUR Senator Kennedy actually wrote books. I doubt this joker ever reads anything longer than his list of KGOP approved talking points.

12. whenever i heard quotes like this from the GOP...........

i think of a line from one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation "The Defector"

"What a fool I've been, to come looking for courage, in a lair of cowards."

none of us should be surprised, after 4 years, to hear the party that loves and adored drumpf, suckling at his teat.
