WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Furious about her treatment on the CBS news-magazine program on Sunday night, Betsy DeVos spoke to reporters on Monday, and called 60 Minutes a total waste of a half hour.
I had never watched 60 Minutes before, but I can tell you this, I will never watch it again, the Education Secretary said. I have better things to do with a half hour of my time.
Calling her interviewer, Lesley Stahl, a practitioner of gotcha journalism at its worst, DeVos said that it was very unfair of her to ask me so many questions about education.
She asked me one thing about schools, and then another, and another, she said. If I had to answer every question she had about schools, I would have had to bone up on education for a month.
