I can’t find it. I remember going back to look at the specific question asked of her. I was pissed because I’m cranky at what I perceive as lowball questions thrown at women, even women I don’t like, so when this stuff comes up, I try to pay attention. I recalled her being asked the question, but I can’t find it so maybe it’s an error in my memory bank.

I promise you this. I’ll watch for lowball questions directed at men and alert you if I find any.


Not sure they count as the same, but here are a couple things from Ted Koppel that he asked of Gary Hart and Michael Dukakis in 1987 and 1988:

Koppel (to Hart): Did you have an affair with Ms. Rice?

Koppel (to Dukakis): With all due respect, let me suggest to you I still don’t think you get it.


Granted, it’s not quite the same as asking if someone is a flake, but I’d consider either one of these to be “lowball.”
