“I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.”
― Douglas Adams
I like this quote, but it occurs to me that "I don't know" is often a reasonable answer to a question.
How about this:
"I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I can't think of an answer which I am confident will not put me in a negative light."
That just seems like overly honest politicking to me.
