Well, this brings us back to the original point, which is that the Bill's
are (artfully or otherwise) not answering questions whose answers affect all
of us, and making themselves look silly in the process.

We need a lawyer.  I don't think any lawyer whose been keeping away from the
crack pipe would recommend doing this to a client.  They might tell them to
lie, might tell them to say it was insantiy or self defense, but no way
would they say, "Go squirm, wiggle, and generally look silly, until you have
succeeded in not answering any of the questions directly, but answering all
of them (and more) through your actions."
