...traps. It could end up being jokey, which it can't be, if you're not incredibly adept. We finally met after I finished Good Night and Good Luck. I spent a seven or eight hour lunch with Tony, who I had never met before. We hung out. By the end of it, on top of thinking he could handle it, you just liked him.

And though the candidate eventually got to cutting taxes and government spending, the importance of the war on terror and educational choice, he began with an old Irish joke about "the O'Reilly twins getting drunk again" - one of four or five jokes in his repertoire.
