Cuomo Loves Asking Questions – of Himself

“Like many high-profile politicians, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) gives few on-the-record interviews. But there may be one person who questions him publicly more than anyone else–Andrew Cuomo,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“During his two years in office, Mr. Cuomo has developed a habit of answering reporters’ queries by asking his own questions. He sometimes engages in a lengthy back-and-forth, asking four or five questions and replying in a single response.”

“It is a classic rhetorical tactic known as ‘anthypophora,’ a device found in Shakespeare, the Bible and the speeches of former presidents, linguistic scholars say.”
