James and Rupert Murdoch seemed to have come completely unprepared for questions.

I once was asked to give depositions.  When I went to the depositions the final question I was asked was about that preparation.  I was asked, "How did you prepare for today?"


I stated, "I reviewed my notes, the facts of the case and any official reports."  It would seem as though the Murdochs lack the 'quality' of preparedness.


How convenient.  I suppose their calendars are so full, there is simply no time to prepare for such 'consequential' hearings following such a scandal.


One might consider that rude.  One might consider it prudent.  But, the only real 'quality' that comes to mind is 'piss poor management and attitude' regarding any and all matters of brevity.
