> The spokesman said that was a stupid question and refused to answer it. I don't understand why people do this: you really expect us to believe an adult spokesperson (someone whose job is it to be personable and charming) called a kid stupid and flat out refused to answer a question? more likely he had some reason it was an unfounded question and maybe was evasive but there's no way the word "stupid" (or any other disparaging word) nor "refuse" was actually uttered
