Make some "Off the Wall" statement, so that Fox News can "capture" it and broadcast it to their viewers or be quoted on Right Wing Radio,...........Then they quickly withdraw it.....

Years ago, the camera in the Senate and House, recorded the whole audience when ever a politician was speaking...........
Now the camera focuses in on only the person speaking, leaving the impression that he/she is speaking to the "whole" House or Senate audience.
But in fact, they are standing there speaking, camera zoomed in on them, and it is 2:00 am in the chamber and the only ones in the entire chamber are them and the cameraman.........cute, huh......
