NAFTA:
That's a good question but, as we said at the beginning,
we don't want to answer any questions relating directly to our identities.
TROUBLEMAKER:
What are you afraid of?
NAFTA:
It's not a matter of being afraid. It's a matter of not being
qualified. Look, you can say that I'm NAFTA, and you can say
that NAFTA is on me, but in no sense am I the author of
NAFTA. In no sense do I have any special understanding of or
special responsibility for my content. Having said that,
I do have thoughts on the matter, and I'm tempted to give them
to you, but they would be just that--just thoughts--and not
particularly well formed or well founded ones.
I won't give in to that temptation because, unfortunately,
such thoughts, once they have escaped this building,
would be transformed into something else entirely.
MCCAIN-FEINGOLD CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM BILL:
Has NAFTA renounced important parts of itself?
Eyewitness News at eleven.
NAFTA:
Exactly. And this undue weighting of our opinions has a lot of random
and possibly bad effects, one of which is that those whose opinions
deserve to be heavily weighed are moved to remove us from their
holiday-party guest lists. So I take it back, it is a matter of
being afraid, and that's what we're afraid of.
MCCAIN-FEINGOLD CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM BILL:
In other words, wait and ask him at the reception.
After he's had a some wine and cheese.
