gogo, I'm sure Abbott would be humbled by your defence of him.
The way I see it Abbott was dumb struck and could come up with a reply, if the jurno was out of line say so. If Abbott had even just said "that is out of line" and walk off it would have made the jurno look silly. But no Abbott stood there in silence with that nervours head nodding and thats what made him look silly.
Laurie Oaks commented on the situation saying much the same
