Ask Washington Anything, Sure -But Do You Really Want To Know?

The Atlantic and reddit have announced a new video initiative called “Ask Washington Anything,” where DC-area power brokers sit down in front of one of The Atlantic‘s cameras and answer crowd-sourced questions a la reddit’s “Ask Me Anything” series. The appeal, apparently, that netizens will be offered a chance to catch these politicos in an “unscripted moment.”

Ha!

What the poor fools at The Atlantic/reddit don’t realize is that Washington-types are actually incapable of producing an unscripted moment.
