The stupidest question of the day, possibly year

On the New Channel last night in an interview with Yuschenko, the host of the program said this (paraphrase):

"Host: You were late for our interview here, does that mean that you will be late for reform?"

Yuschenko: (Me: "He has to be thinking that is the stupidest question ever.") "We were in some heavy traffic coming here. It was something that was out of my hands."

The New Channel was a supporter of Yanukovych before the revolution. Old habits die hard it seems.
