What needs to do is to learn to speak like politicians. Learn to go around the subject, make indirect reference, make vague allusions, be indirect & wavering, ambiguous & obfuscating, evasive & hypocritical; never openly offending, never possible to be held liable for having said anything of consequence.

Of course it will still be annoying, but how can they criticize their own style & manner.

Ah, you've godiva'd le roy, and guttered moi.
