Damn those avatars. You can't resist forever; I'll be back and next time  
I'll bring the hunting pack of Lawyers of Suing +3.

What a choice.
Be a good person and you'll visit Fawlty Towers.
Be a bad person and you'll have to visit Fawlty Towers.
I would choose to stay in that transportation vehicle in between.
A neverending passenger. Perhaps I could play the deamon in a box. ;)

Ah, but only by people that *know* what actually exists in the gaps. The 
trick is to find some legitimate gap that they can't fill either, then 
stuff a purple pokadot unicorn into it, or what ever the equivalent is 
in the subject you are trying to spin your way. If it "sounds" like you 
have an answer, while the other side honestly says they don't, but at 
looking, a lot of people that don't know any better will fall for 
"your" version of it. Well, most people, especially when political 
decisions are involved, don't have a clue what is in the gaps, where 
they are, how big they are, or even if they exist at all, but they got 
one clown up there spinning like a top and insisting they do know that 
gaps exist, and they personally, or their team, or what ever, *knows* 
exactly what fits in the hole.

To be clear, the origin of the descriptions I gave are from a book 
written by one of those people that run satire on Comedy Central, so it 
*is* politics that they describe.

Mainly capitalized because it's his middle initial.

For a professional there are no gaps. You either ignore them as if they  
weren't there, or skip over them as if they were unimportant. If some  
busybody dares point one out you can 'not see it', 'not understand it', or  
'act confused that the questioner can't see the obvious connection'. At  
which point the busybody has to repeat it, explain it, or back-down; which  
offers an opportunity to spin whatever they said into your message or  
ignore it.

Except European politics are, by defintion, more sophisticated with  
greater degrees of subtlety :-P
