Actually, I think Lipton would do it really well. He's dealt with every pretentious prick in Hollywood. He could hold his own I think.
that's what I was thinking... and not only could he handle them, unlike the 'real journalist' would who show a deference to a POTUS or a P-candidate and maybe not hound them for an answer.. I think Lipton could and would since he has the experience asking 'esteemed peers' those kinds of unconformable questions..
