I remember the GOOD days when there was 11 pages in the catalogue.

Cute. A nice little journalistic trick. But in its own way also quite juvenile and quite idiotic.

In fact, one can easily imagine those serious-looking, grave-faced MSNBC journalists planning this silly ambush. "Let's ask him what he would do about a leppo, and when he responds by saying that he doesn't know what a leppo is, we'll make him look really dumb when we point out that we're actually referring to Aleppo."

Johnson handled the matter with courtesy and aplomb: "Okay, I got it" and then he proceeded to explain to those serious-looking, grave-faced MSNBC journalists how the deadly and destructive mess in Syria was a direct consequence of U.S. interventionism, including the concept of regime change, which has been a core element of U.S. foreign policy since the inception of the national-security establishment in the 1940s.

But you see, that's not what mainstream journalists want to hear. Mired in the paradigm of interventionism, what they want to hear is how candidates are going to make interventionism work. The last thing they want to hear is someone telling them that interventionism itself is the problem and that the solution is for the U.S. government, especially the Pentagon and the CIA, to stop intervening in the affairs of other countries.

Like mainstream political candidates, many mainstream journalists are unable to think and analyze at that level. They're easily able to deal with candidates who are mired within the socialist/interventionist paradigm and who are debating and discussing ways to make socialism and interventionism work. But when a libertarian comes along and doesn't play that game, instead challenging the entire paradigm itself, many mainstream journalists find themselves flummoxed and perplexed.

That's when they decide resort to cute, gotcha type word games like, "What are you going to do about a leppo if you're elected president?"
