The wrong answers to give to the question... "What is your biggest weakness?"
Although this is a stock job interview question, I can't caution you, my fellow Democrats, enough about the importance of correctly handling a question like "What is your biggest weakness?"--particularly if it comes in the middle of a high profile campaign for elective office.

Should you, or anyone you know or care about, ever encounter the question "What is your biggest weakness?" the following are the answers to the question that you must NOT ever, ever give.

1. "Kryptonite."

2. "Christians just bother the shit out of me."

3. "I have particularly sensitive testicles. One swift kick and I'm doubled over for at least an hour."

4. "I'm too darn compassionate about helping the poor. Honestly, I can't stop myself. It's like a narcotic with me."

5. "My staff will tell you that I loose everything. I remember that covert intelligence report I carried with me on that trade mission the Shanghai. Geeze, we never did find that sucker...!"

6. "I'm profoundly neurotic."

7. "My patriotism is physically uncontrollable. Sometimes when I'm saying the Pledge to the flag I begin ejaculating."

8. "I'm too darn eager to get started bringing real, yet experienced, change to the White House just like we did 16 years ago. Also I've killed like 11 homeless people for the sheer thrill of it."

9. "I just can't quit staring at photographs of Punky Brewster."

I'm sorry I couldn't help it. It was right there. I had to take it.

5. Hey, just because I supported Biden doesn't mean I'm a plagiarist!
Three of them I riffed off our candidates, five I made up, and one of them actually IS my greatest weakness. But in my defense, Punky Brewster is all grown up now.

7. That's your worst weakness?
Geeze, if I wasn't already pledged to Mercer (all three!) I might just vote for you...
