This reminds me on an old David Fry routine. David Fry was a comedian who used to satirize Nixon.
Reporter: Mr. President, what are your intentions concerning Viet Nam?
David Fry (as Nixon), Well the fact are, and I do believe in the importance of facts. After all, I am the President and that's a fact. Next question.
Reporter: Mr. President you did not answer my question
Nixon: That is also a fact.
